UConn secured the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA women's basketball tournament, with UCLA, Texas, and South Carolina as the other No. 1 seeds.

Historically, the team ranked No. 1 in the AP poll heading into March Madness has won the championship 17 times out of 43 tournaments since 1982. The SEC leads conference representation with eight teams in the Top 25, followed by the Big Ten with seven. The tournament begins this week with First Four games on Wednesday and Thursday.
