Upsets are the name of the game in this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, as it’s the first year in NCAA tournament history with no No. 1 seeds in the Elite Eight or Final Four. Despite being a No. 4 seed, UConn comes into the Final Four on a red-hot winning streak. They’ve blown out their March Madness opponents by an average of 22.5 points per game.

Iowa, LSU, South Carolina, and Virginia Tech are in the Women’s Final Four bracket.

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark has been one of the biggest names in college basketball this season, as she’s racked up points and wins for the Hawkeyes. In last weekend’s 97–83 win over Louisville, Clark became the first player in NCAA tournament history to get a 40-point triple-double. However, defending national champion South Carolina—which came into the tournament with a sterling 36-0 record—remains the team to beat.
