South Carolina controlled the No. 1 spot in the country from the second week of the season on, but the “everything else” this women’s college basketball season was a roller-coaster ride. The No. 2 spot changed hands eight times in the regular season. Multiple top-20 teams lost on a weekly basis.
The dust still hasn’t settled, setting up potentially one of the most exciting and meaningful Champ Weeks in a long time.
After the Gamecocks, the three remaining No. 1 seeds are still up for grabs. Stanford, Ohio State, UCLA, Iowa, Texas, USC and LSU are all candidates to stake a claim by winning their conference tournaments. The top-16 seeds — and the right to host first- and second-round NCAA tournament games — could go in any number of directions depending on what happens in the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12 tournaments.
A few mid-major leagues could have significant impact on the bubble, as will the SEC tournament. Each conference has its own must-know storylines, and these are the ones to play closest attention too, as well as the teams that might be on the court, as we draw closer to Selection Sunday and the NCAA tournament.
