UConn women’s basketball is the No. 11 overall seed in the NCAA selection committee’s initial bracket reveal. If the season ended today, the Huskies would be a 3-seed in the Spokane Regional. The top 16 seeds were revealed by ESPN on Thursday.
UConn has already played three top-16 teams, all of which were losses: No. 1 South Carolina, No. 5 Louisville and No. 14 Oregon. The Huskies will also play No. 4 Tennessee on Feb. 6 at the XL Center.
While the Bridgeport Regional would draw significantly more fans with UConn in it, the NCAA doesn’t allow more than multiple teams from the same conference to be top-four seeds in the same regional if possible.
