The women’s NCAA Tournament bracket is set. Now college basketball fans can finally start filling out their own brackets.
Here are 10 players to know as March Madness begins in the women’s tournament:
Ta’Niya Latson | Florida State
Gotta love this: The nation’s leading scorer, a 5-foot-8 guard, has an interesting hobby: Legos, the line of plastics construction toys you may have played with as a kid. On the “Ball Up Top” podcast, Latson said her dream NIL deal would be with Lego and that she can easily put together a 1,000-piece set.
MiLaysia Fulwiley | South Carolina
Gotta love this: Every time the 5-foot-10 guard enters into a game, Fulwiley has a burst of energy and a presence that gets the bench unit of South Carolina fired up. That could very well be attributed to her NIL deal with Red Bull, the energy drink. In 2024, Fulwiley became the first collegiate athlete to sign an NIL deal with the brand.
JuJu Watkins | Southern California
Gotta love this: Her parents thought the 6-foot-2 guard would go into a career in modeling. But Watkins has been widely considered a basketball superstar for a long time. As early as 2020, Watkins was on a national stage in YouTube videos surrounding her day-to-day basketball life. She is one of the nation’s best players and can take over a game at any point. Watkins scored a school-record 51 points against Stanford earlier this season.
