The NCAA women’s basketball tournament is set to begin with UCLA as the top overall seed, marking their highest seed in history. This prestigious position will be put to the test over the next three weeks leading up to the national semifinals on April 4 and the championship game on April 6 at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The other contenders for this coveted spot include South Carolina (30-3), Texas (31-3), and USC (28-3). UCLA’s victory over their crosstown rival, the Trojans, in the Big Ten tournament championship game demonstrates their determination to hold onto their top seed. The selection committee considered both head-to-head wins and competitive losses when determining the rankings, with South Carolina suffering a 29-point loss to UConn being one of the factors that led to them not securing the top spot. Connecticut, as the nation’s best shooting team at 50.8% this season, is seeking its first national title since 2016 and will be a formidable opponent in the tournament. The other No. 2 seeds are Duke, North Carolina State, and TCU, with TCU being an intriguing entrant after making their first tournament appearance since 2010. This year’s NCAA women’s basketball tournament promises to be highly competitive, showcasing some of the best teams in the country vying for the national title.
