Women’s Top 362 as of March 2, 2025

Welcome back to episode 456 of the GCR. As the regular season is coming to an end and the conference championships are about to heat up, it’s time to get excited. It’s MARCH MADNESS!!! Southern Cal (26-2/4) took down UCLA (27-2/3) for the second time this season. I’m really hoping for a rematch in the Big Ten final. South Carolina (27-3/1) who played the toughest schedule (so far) and split with Texas (29-2/2) and won the top seed in the SEC tournament by virtue of a coin toss. Niagara (2-24/359) finally got out of the cellar with a rare victory.

…..

I’ve been working to make the Score meaningful in a predictive way. I think I finally figured it out. The scale is somewhat variable based on the overall performance of all 362 teams. The home court advantage is 4 points. The difference in the Score (adjusted for home court, if applicable) is the prediction. There are 125 regular season games left through March 8th. The Horizon and Sun Belt begin their tournaments on March 4th. The Ohio Valley will be the first to crown a champion on March 8th. We won’t know all of the automatic qualifiers until March 16 (Missouri Valley, Northeast, Patriot, and Coastal). Coastal, by the way, used to be the Colonial before a name change last fall. Speaking of March 16th, it’s selection Sunday for the NCAAs which will be followed by selection for the other tournaments.

…..

First, thank you for reading and sharing with others. The addition of men’s and women’s basketball is a good deal of work, but certainly a lot of fun. With no further ado, here is the top 362 from South Carolina to American, G.
