NCAA tournament 2025: USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb feels 'disrespected' by selection as 4th No. 1 seed in same bracket as UConn

It appears that USC head coach Lindsay Gottlieb is not stoked about seeing UConn on the other side of her team's bracket.

The Trojans earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA women's tournament bracket that was revealed on Sunday. But to Gottlieb, this placement as the tournament's fourth No. 1 seed was disrespectful. She let her feelings be known with media shortly after the bracket reveal.

Lindsay Gottlieb was not happy with USC being the 4th overall No. 1 seed.

“I never thought I’d be a 1 seed and feel disrespected,” Gottlieb said.
