The 68 teams participating in the 2022 Women’s NCAA Tournament were announced on Sunday night, with the South Carolina Gamecocks earning the No. 1 overall seed. NC State, Stanford and Louisville round out the remaining No. 1 seeds.
Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks enter the tournament with a 29-2 overall record, and a 15-1 SEC record. They’ll have a potential star-studded matchup with Caitlin Clark and No. 2-seed Iowa in the Greensboro Region.
NC State, which heads the Bridgeport Region, will have to face a strong UConn team about an hour from their campus. Last year’s champ, Stanford, is holding it down in the Spokane Region, and Louisville clung to the last No. 1 seed spot and is heading up the Wichita Region.
