Every team playing in March Madness wants to win it all, but lower seeds have much larger hills to climb to bring championships to their schools. A Cinderella story just isn’t always in the cards. Teams can get knocked out in historic fashion.

In the 2025 women’s NCAA tournament, No. 2 seed UConn took down 15th-seeded Arkansas State by 69 points in the first round Saturday, winning 103-34. With the rout, UConn now owns six of the top 10 biggest blowouts in women’s March Madness history. Check out the other games that make the list.
