Seeding easier in women's?

[Hypnodawg]

Other than a 1-point win by a 9 over 8, there are no upsets. Why are there so many more upsets in men's basketball than women's.

It helps that 16 of 6he 64 teams play at home in the first two rounds

That and the bottom third of the teams in the tournament do not have that one player who can beat you

Even the lightly-regarded men's teams usually have that superstar

The women’s bracket is usually pretty chalky. The talent distribution is pretty top heavy in women’s basketball.

Biology says YES. "Junior" was a work of fiction.*

Surprised that there hasn’t been any bracket geeks chime in. It’s so funny that guys will talk about ncaa seeding for two months, get a 5 seed and then we get bounced by a 12 seed. Does it really matter?

Marquette, and Mississippi State wereover seeded. Kansas State was just over-rated.

Part of it is, there's not nearly as much depth in the women's game, so it's easier to seed teams. Part of it is that a lot of the close games in the women's tournament have gone to the higher seed, while many of them have gone to the lower seed in the men's tournament.

There’s no parity in women’s basketball and every team in the men’s tournament has one player that can ball.
