Last year, the last perfect women’s bracket fell when Stanford — then a No. 1-seed — suffered a shocking second round defeat.
The Cardinal did not let history repeat itself, defeating No. 7 Iowa State 87-81 in a thrilling overtime affair that lasted late into Sunday night (or early Monday morning for those on Eastern Standard Time), keeping their postseason hopes and the final 18 remaining perfect women’s brackets alive. The last perfect entries in major online games are on ESPN (14), CBS (2) and Yahoo (2).
We began the tournament with more than four million entries. Here’s how we went from more than 1,300 perfect brackets to 18 Sunday:
- No. 7 Duke def. No. 2 Ohio State — 202 perfect
- No. 5 Colorado def. No. 4 Kansas State — 99 perfect
- No. 3 LSU def. No. 11 Middle Tennessee — 81 perfect
- No. 3 Oregon State def. No. 6 Nebraska — 40
- No. 1 Texas def. No. 8 Alabama — 38
- No. 5 Baylor def. No. 4 Virginia Tech — 18
Last year, the final perfect bracket was busted in the 40th game of the tournament — 40 games in, the quest for perfection will continue Monday.
