Picking teams in the N.C.A.A. women’s basketball tournament might be a new twist on a familiar tradition for some fans who only tune in when March arrives. Know this: It’s not as simple as picking UConn to go all the way.
Women’s basketball brackets are a little easier to predict than the men’s tournament in some ways because of the strength of the teams at the top. Still, the exercise offers new challenges to fans used to a different set of names as top contenders. Kentucky, for example, is out of the men’s tournament this year, but the women’s team is chasing a national title.
