NCAA Women's Tournament bracket 2024: Printable bracket, games, matchups for Elite Eight of March Madness

The tournament is winding down, but the action is heating up as we reach the elite eight.

And then there were eight. The 2024 NCAA Women's Tournament is near its conclusion with the Elite Eight now officially set for tip off. All four No. 1 seeds are still alive and vying to reach the Final Four. That includes top overall seed South Carolina, who maintains its undefeated record, looking to become the 10th team to complete an undefeated season as national champions. Plus, Iowa, Texas and USC are all still in the mix.

The other four teams are just as deserving to this point, but interestingly no No. 2 seeds made it to this point. In fact, each No. 1 seed will take on the No. 3 seed in their region. Oregon State, NC State, LSU and UConn all made it through their first three games to reach this point and have a chance to score the upset and make the Final Four.

Sunday will see two teams punch their ticket to the Final Four in Cleveland. Things get underway with South Carolina taking on Oregon State in Albany, New York. Then, attention turns out west with Texas battling NC State from Portland, Oregon. 

Below you will find a viewable/printable 2024 NCAA Women's Tournament bracket. Thanks for stopping by, but don't forget to continue to checking in throughout the next three weeks. CBS Sports will offer complete coverage of the events with the latest news, results and breakdowns of the biggest matchups.

March Madness® is better with friends, especially when you beat them!  Get your bracket pools ready now  and invite your friends, family and co-workers to play.

As usual, we'll have a variety of methods in which you can view the bracket on the device of your choice. And you absolutely want to make sure you join our Bracket Games where you can compete against the public or create a bracket group to battle your family, friends and/or co-workers.

PATH OF TOTALITY, Ohio - You may have heard in the past year or so about a little celestial event that’s happening in early April called a total solar eclipse. This rare glimpse into the wonders of the universe won’t happen again until 2044 in any part of the continental United States, so understandably, folks are excited and want to make the experience as enjoyable and special as possible.

To that end, the Information Superhighway is infested with various folks offering musical playlists to watch the moon blot out the sun. We enjoy a good click-baiting trend as much as any so we’re joining on the fun. But because we here at Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer hold ourselves to high standards, we won’t be simply picking any reasonably popular “sun” or “moon” related songs. Rather, we’re sticking strictly to songs that contain the word “eclipse,” in their title or lyrics with bonus points for “total eclipse.”
