Stanford, UConn, NC State, South Carolina land top seeds in women's NCAA basketball tournament

Stanford, UConn, North Carolina State and South Carolina were awarded No. 1 seeds for the women's NCAA tournament, with the Cardinal earning the top overall seed.

The women's bracket reveal on Monday night came on the heels of UConn's announcement that head coach Geno Auriemma's arrival in Texas would be delayed after he tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday. He will remain in isolation for 10 days and can rejoin the team on March 24. The other members of UConn's travel party have tested negative for COVID-19.

Auriemma will miss the Huskies' opening game against High Point -- one of four first-timers in the tournament -- and a potential second-round matchup against either Syracuse or South Dakota State.
