Who needs Caitlin Clark? While the longtime Iowa Hawkeyes star made Women's March Madness exhilarating, women's college basketball remains as thrilling as ever as we head into Selection Sunday and the postseason when both the Men's and Women's March Madness brackets will be revealed.
Stars like USC's Juju Watkins and UConn's Paige Bueckers, among many others, have the chance to steal headlines just in the same way that Clark did. On top of that, this might be the most parity we've seen entering March Madness in some time. Shockingly, South Carolina isn't the top-ranked team in the country entering the NCAA Tournament as the UCLA Bruins continue a stellar campaign atop the rankings, but there are also teams like TCU and Duke that have leveled up. And don't sleep on a team like South Dakota State either!
It's going to be incredibly fun to follow all of the women's hoops throughout the NCAA Tournament in what could be one of the best Women's March Madness runs in years. So get your printable bracket and find out everything you need to know about this year's women's tourney.

Dawn Staley's South Carolina has been so dominant for several years now that many might've assumed the Gamecocks were a lock again for the No. 1 seed in the Women's NCAA Tournament. Instead, it's the UCLA Bruins taking that spot and, meanwhile, South Carolina has a brutal region with potential matchups against Duke, UNC, and Maryland all looming as the highest seeds in the region. UCLA, for their part, doesn't get a cakewalk either, especially with Kim Mulkey and LSU lurking as the No. 3 seed in Spokane 1.
Texas might be the biggest loser of the bracket reveal, though. Not only is TCU as the No. 2 seed a bear but Notre Dame falling to the 3-line is brutal for the Longhorns as the Irish fell off late but have been the top team in the country at times this season. USC was the dramatic reveal as the final No. 1 seed in the bracket, getting the nod over UConn. Bueckers and Watkins in the Elite Eight would be magic but there are plenty of landmines in the region to avoid.
Where to print other Women's March Madness brackets
If you prefer other brackets, we've got you covered there as well. Fans can go to numerous other places to get their Women's March Madness brackets to fill out.
NCAA.com is the best resource to be able to do so right away as they have the blank version available in a PDF that will allow fans to print it out and follow along with the Selection Sunday special. Simply click the button and you'll be able to open the file and print from there.
ESPN is a bit trickier in that regard. They will have the printable Women's March Madness bracket available on Sunday after the selection show and once the 68 teams in the field are announced. However, they don't have that same luxury for the blank bracket prior to the Selection Sunday special. Even still, that should allow fans to get a bracket that's ready to fill out for their pools.

Unlike the men's NCAA Tournament, there are some differences when it comes to Women's March Madness, specifically when it comes to the host sites. For the first and second rounds, not to mention the First Four as well, the Top 16 seeds — which equates to the Top 4 seeds in each region of the bracket — will host games.
In this year's Women's March Madness tournament, that means that Los Angeles, Raleigh, Baton Rouge and Waco will host in the Spokane Region 1. In the Birmingham Region 2, it'll be Columbia, Durham, Chapel Hill and College Park hosting in the first and second rounds. For Birmingham Region 3, you'll look to Austin, Fort Worth, South Bend and Columbus as the early hosts. And finally, in Spokane Region 4, we have Los Angeles, Storrs, Norman and Lexington hosting.
Meanwhile, as opposed to the four regional championship sites for the Sweet 16 and the Elite Eight, the women's tournament will be played at two sites, Birmingham and Spokane.
All roads ultimately lead to Tampa, FL for the Final Four and National Championship Game.
Broadcast information
All Women's March Madness games will be broadcast on the ESPN family of networks and streaming services. Fans can tune into the action on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ABC while also signing up for ESPN+ and streaming games there as well. The National Championship Game, specifically, we know will be broadcast on ABC. That's another big difference from the men's tournament as well, with the women getting the "mothership" broadcasting rights.
One other big key to note in terms of the schedule and broadcast information is that Women's March Madness also follows a slightly different weekly flow than the men's tournament. The women will play their games Friday-to-Monday whereas the men play Thursday-to-Sunday. Additionally, the Women's Final Four games will be played on Friday, April 4 while the men's games will take place on Saturday, April 5. The Women's National Championship game will then be on Sunday, April 6 with the men's title game the following day on Monday.
