In a surprising and massive blunder, the NCAA women's Division I tournament bracket was released in its entirety today as graphics aired on ESPNU showed all 64 teams four hours before the official selection show was scheduled to be aired on ESPN.

It appears to have taken ESPN more than 15 minutes to realize the mistake, and it apologized statement later Monday. “We deeply regret the error and extend our apology to the NCAA and the women’s basketball community,” the network said. “We will conduct a thorough review of our process to ensure it doesn’t happen in the future.”
