There is not a sober human on the planet who watched the first round of the women’s NCAA tournament and thought: “This event needs more teams.” The gap between the best teams and the pretty good ones is wide enough to raise antitrust concerns, not that college sports need more lawsuits.
Some first-round highlights: South Carolina won by 60. UConn won by 69. Duke won by 61. Notre Dame won by 52. LSU won by 55. USC held UNC-Greensboro to single digits in all four quarters and won 71–25. Come on: 71–25 is not a basketball score. It’s a third-grade math problem.
