Auburn’s women’s basketball team is excelling on the court and in the classroom.

For the fifth year, on the eve of the NCAA tournament, Inside Higher Ed produced a women’s academic bracket.

Using the same matchups fans will see on the court, Inside Higher Ed relied on academic criteria to see which teams would survive and advance.

In the academic bracket, Auburn reached the Sweet 16 by defeating St. John’s and Baylor.

Winners were determined by Academic Progress Rate (APR), with the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) serving as a tiebreaker.
