"Defending national champion UConn, the overall No. 1 seed, is projected into the Fort Worth 1 regional, along with LSU (No. 8 seed overall), Ohio State (No. 9) and Oklahoma (No. 16.) The Huskies are 26-0 and the only unbeaten team in Division I women's hoops. They are seeking the program's seventh perfect season and 13th national championship."
"In the Sacramento 2 regional are UCLA (No. 2 overall), Texas (No. 5), Duke, (No. 10) and Ole Miss (No. 15). Fort Worth 3 regional is led by No. 3 overall seed South Carolina, along with Louisville (No. 7), Iowa (No. 11) and Michigan State (No. 14). And in the Sacramento 4 regional, Vanderbilt -- coming off a big victory over Texas on Thursday -- is the No. 4 overall seed and is joined by Michigan (No. 6), TCU (No. 12) and Maryland (No. 13)."
"Even though Texas is the No. 5 overall seed, the Longhorns couldn't be in the Sacramento 4 or Fort Worth 3 regionals because of bracketing principles, since two other SEC teams are the top seeds there. Overall, there are six teams each from the SEC and the Big Ten in this Top 16. Two are from the ACC, one from the Big 12 and one from the Big East."
The NCAA released its first early reveal of the women's tournament Top 16 seeds and projected regional slots. The field is split between two regionals in Fort Worth and Sacramento, with two champions crowned at each site under the two-regional system. UConn is the overall No. 1 seed and projected to Fort Worth 1 with LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma; UConn is 26-0 and pursuing a seventh perfect season and a 13th national title. UCLA, South Carolina and Vanderbilt are the other No. 1 seeds, joined by a mix of conference teams. The Top 16 includes six SEC and six Big Ten teams; second reveal is March 1, selection on March 15, and early-round dates run March 18-23.
