When Mississippi State upset Creighton, 81-66, just 1.37% of all brackets remained perfect in the Women’s Bracket Challenge Game. The Bulldogs played in the First Four game Mar. 15 against the University of Illinois beating them 70-56 to advance to the first round of the 2023 March Madness Women’s Division 1 NCAA tournament.
The win over Creighton was an upset and is Mississippi’s 22nd win of the season and 24th all-time NCAA Tournament win. This is head coach Sam Purcell’s first season with the Bulldogs and he wants people to “talk to him and his players nice.” The Bulldogs will play No. 3 Notre Dame on ESPN Sunday at 3:30 p.m. ET.
Twitter erupted with this bracket-buster game. Check out some of the best tweets from during and after the game.
