March Madness has begun. South Carolina, UCLA, Notre Dame, UConn and USC are just a few of the teams that flexed their dominance with blowout victories. Kentucky survived an upset scare against Liberty, and Oregon became the first double-digit seed to advance with an overtime victory over Vanderbilt.
The No. 1 seeds are UCLA, South Carolina, Texas and USC, with the Bruins taking the top overall seed. Since the tournament expanded in 1994, a No. 1 seed has won the title 23 times. Meanwhile, No. 2 seeds have won the championship four times and No. 3 seeds three times — with the most recent being LSU in 2023, a program that is once again a No. 3 seed this year.
USC star JuJu Watkins had two injury scares during her team’s 71-25 win over UNC Greensboro, but she is “all good” to continue dancing with the Trojans. Notre Dame’s Olivia Miles also injured her ankle during the Fighting Irish’s 106-56 victory over Stephen F. Austin. Her status is a little more uncertain, but coach Niele Ivey said the hope is Miles can be out on the floor when her team takes on Michigan on Sunday.
