A lot can change in two weeks. Colorado surprised many by receiving the final No. 1 seed in the Selection Committee’s first “top 16” reveal on Feb. 15, but after three consecutive losses, they ended as a 4-seed during the second and final such reveal on Thursday.
Taking Colorado’s place as a No. 1 seed was a different Pac-12 team in UCLA, and if not for a close loss to Utah on Sunday, yet another Pac-12 team, USC, may have claimed that spot.
Oklahoma crashed the Top-16 party and clinched the Big 12 regular season title following Lexy Keys’ game-winning three-pointer against No. 1 seed contender Texas. As we head into the final weekend of the regular season for power conference teams, all six champions have already been crowned: Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, UConn, Ohio State, Stanford and South Carolina.
Caitlin Clark broke Lynette Woodard’s major program scoring record and declared for the 2024 WNBA Draft, while other shoutouts go to bubble teams Kansas, Vanderbilt and Auburn, who all picked up key wins to improve their standing.
