The first round of the 2011 Women’s NCAA Tournament is in the books, but there’s been a problem. As both Nate and I have noted, the madness in the women’s version of March Madness has been, well, missing. Bracket busters are nowhere to be found and higher-seeded teams have been moving through the bracket with ease. Aside from a few 8-9 games and lower-seeded teams that should’ve actually been favored winning, it’s been drama-free early in the women’s tournament.
Nevertheless, the beat goes on as the Women’s NCAA Tournament moves into its second round on Monday. Games are currently in progress at regional sites throughout the country as teams battle for a spot in the Sweet Sixteen.
