March Madness women's perfect bracket tracker: Only 7.6% of perfect brackets remain after 12 games

It took a while for things to settle down, and there weren’t many upsets on the day, but an incredible 92.4% of entries in Yahoo Sports’ Women’s Bracket Mayhem were busted as of Friday afternoon with 12 games in the books.

With just one game in the women's NCAA tournament left to tip off on Friday, less than 8% of users still had a chance at pulling off the elusive perfect bracket.

Upsets were hard to come by on Friday in the women’s tournament. Only No. 9 Indiana’s 76-68 win over No. 8 Utah and No 10 Oregon’s 77-73 overtime win over No. 7 Vanderbilt were technical upsets based on seeding. The rest of the games went down as the selection committee expected.

No. 1 seed South Carolina picked up a 60-point win over Tennessee Tech, and No. 3 Notre Dame beat No. 14 Stephen F. Austin by 52 points to rally after what was a brutal finish to the season for the Fighting Irish. Ohio State, TCU, Ole Miss and Baylor all grabbed double-digit wins, too.

The biggest scare of the day came after No. 4 Kentucky nearly blew a 17-point fourth-quarter lead. The Wildcats beat No. 13 Liberty by just a single point in their matchup.

While about 40% of brackets were perfect through the early wave, that number completely fell off after both Louisville and Oregon grabbed their respective wins. That dropped the total of perfect brackets left down to just 7.6%.
