The biggest tournament that comes to mind for me was UCLA’s 2023 (1-seed \ 4) loss to Ole Miss in the second round at home. Can anybody identify a bigger upset in NCAAW history?

Other surprises:
2017 Miss. State knocks off undefeated UConn in the semis.
2018 ND (finally) knocks off undefeated UConn in the semis
2023 Iowa knocks off undefeated SCar in the semis


Anybody wanna predict a big one this year?

1 seed Stanford was defeated by 8 seed Ole Miss in the second round of the 2023 tournament.
 
1998 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament first-round game, 16-seed Harvard defeated 1-seed Stanford 71-67, becoming the first 16-seed to beat a 1-seed in either men’s or women’s tournament history. Led by Allison Feaster's 35 points, Harvard overcame injuries to key Stanford players to secure the upset at Stanford.

In case you are wondering, yes, that is Sarah Strong's mother, Allison Feaster.

The one I remember the most is UCONN's upset of 2-seed NC State in the 1991 NCAAT. Up to that time, that was the best team NC State ever had, and earlier in the season, had beaten Tennessee by 20 points in Knoxville, and the Lady Vols went on to win the national title that year.

I always thought was UCONN's opening salvo that they were headed for national prominence.
