The USC women’s basketball team has moved to the top line in the sport. The Women of Troy are now a projected No. 1 seed for the 2024 Women’s NCAA Tournament in ESPN’s latest edition of NCAA Tournament bracketology. ESPN bracketologist Charlie Creme has adjusted his bracket to reflect USC’s wins over both UCLA and Stanford en route to the Pac-12 Tournament championship in Las Vegas.
USC has moved up to the No. 1 line, displacing UCLA, which was a projected No. 1 seed on Friday but has been moved down to a No. 2 seed. The Iowa Hawkeyes are also a No. 1 seed, displacing the Ohio State Buckeyes, who were in the No. 1 slot entering the weekend. Ohio State, which lost to both USC and UCLA during the regular season, would seemingly be eliminated from consideration for a No. 1 seed. UCLA is still in the hunt but would likely need Texas to lose in the Big 12 Tournament to have a chance. Texas and Iowa might be battling for the final No. 1 seed on the board. It could also be that USC and Iowa are both safe for No. 1 seeds, and that Texas is trying to earn a spot as the highest-rated No. 2 seed on the board.
