Undefeated South Carolina is the top overall seed in the women’s NCAA Tournament.
The Gamecocks are looking to become the 10th women’s basketball team to go undefeated for an entire season. They had a chance last season before falling just short against Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the Final Four. The Hawkeyes received the other No. 1 seed in the Albany Regional. The two teams wouldn’t potentially face off until the national championship game this time. Iowa is a one-seed for the first time since 1992.
USC and star freshman JuJu Watkins earned their first No. 1 seed since 1986 as the top choice in a Portland Regional. Texas earned the fourth No. 1 seed, it’s first since 2004, and will play Drexel in the other Portland Regional opener.
