The Real Big Dance: Women’s March Madness 101

Monica and Sara

We’re skipping the men’s bracket and getting straight to the good stuff—women’s March Madness. Monica and Sara kick things off with a quick and easy March Madness 101, covering the history of the women’s NCAA tournament, what’s changed (finally being able to use the “March Madness” branding in 2022), and what still needs fixing (hello, pay gaps and stadium sizes).

Then it’s on to the first and second round recap: bracket busters, buzzer beaters, and standout stars like Juju Watkins, Hannah Hidalgo, and Paige Bueckers. They also unpack NIL deals, viewership records, and why investing in women’s sports is a winning game plan. Whether deep in your bracket or just showing up for the vibes, this episode has you covered.
