Women's NCAA tournament 2023: Reseeding the March Madness Sweet 16

Toss the chalk out the window. The 2023 women's NCAA tournament bracket needs a pencil with an extra large eraser.

Perhaps inspired by 8-seed Ole Miss' upset of Stanford on Sunday, ninth-seeded Miami sent a second No. 1 seed home in as many nights, eliminating Indiana in Bloomington on Monday. It's the first time in 25 years that two No. 1 seeds failed to reach the Sweet 16. How's that Women's Tournament Challenge bracket looking now?

In their two victories, the Hurricanes erased a 17-point deficit to beat Oklahoma State in a game in which they didn't lead until the fourth quarter, and then Monday they never trailed against the No. 2 team in the country en route to the tournament's biggest upset.

And that wasn't all.

Two other lower seeds won on the road in Seattle 4, leaving Iowa as the only top-four seed in the Sweet 16 in the region.

All of which means this NCAA tournament now needs some significant reseeding. Virginia Tech has gone from a No. 1… to a No. 2… and now back to a No. 1. Tennessee has looked so good the Lady Vols vaulted up two seeds. Ole Miss and Miami are still on the list, and who would have thought Notre Dame, playing without two starting guards, would still be around, and Stanford, with two All-Americans, would not?

As great as these past four days have been, perhaps it's a good thing that the tournament takes a break for three days so everyone can catch their breath.

Here's a look at our reseeding of this unexpected Sweet 16 before the games resume Friday.

Azzi Fudd pours in a game-high 22 points to help UConn defeat Baylor and reach the Sweet 16 for the 29th year in a row.
