Creighton and South Dakota pulled off major upsets as No. 10 seeds in the NCAA Womens Basketball Tournament. How have other double-digit seeds done in the Sweet 16?
Only one team ranked No. 14 or higher has won an NCAA Women’s Tournament Game. Twenty years before UMBC shocked Virginia on the men’s side, Harvard became the first No. 16 seed to ever beat a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Crimson pulled off their historic 71-67 win over No. 1 Stanford in the first round of the 1998 women’s tournament.
While one No. 16 seed has a victory over a No. 1 seed, neither a No. 14 or No.15 seed has ever won a first round game in the women’s bracket.Only three of the 27 double-digit seeds to reach the Sweet 16 moved on to the Elite Eight:Creighton can join that list on Friday when it squares off against No. 3 Iowa State in Greensboro, N.C. South Dakota’s Sweet 16 matchup is on Saturday against No. 3 Michigan in Wichita, Kan.
Should either team win their Sweet 16 game, they will have a chance to do something no double-digit seed has ever done in the women’s tournament: reach the Final Four.
