Fourteen women's basketball teams in the NCAA tournament have perfect graduation rates.

That list includes the tournament's top seed, Connecticut. The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida released a report Monday on tournament teams' graduation rates.

Of the other No. 1 seeds, Duke has a 90 percent graduation rate, Oklahoma is at 69 percent and Maryland is at 67 percent.

The other schools with 100 percent graduation rates are DePaul, Evansville, Florida, Lehigh, Marist, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Sacred Heart, Stanford, Tennessee, Texas, Vanderbilt and Villanova.

The graduation rates were based on whether freshmen who entered school between the 1998-99 and 2001-02 school years earned diplomas within six years.
