With Selection Sunday approaching, the NCAA women's basketball tournament picture is taking shape after Championship Week. Duke and UCLA secured top seeds in their respective conferences, while Texas and West Virginia claimed No. 2 seeds. The Longhorns' dominant SEC tournament victory over South Carolina moved them to the No. 3 overall seed, positioning them for a Fort Worth regional.

The biggest question mark remains whether UConn or UCLA deserves the overall No. 1 seed. Despite UCLA's superior metrics - including 18 Quad 1 wins and the nation's toughest schedule - the selection committee has consistently ranked the undefeated Huskies first in its top-16 reveals. UCLA's 51-point demolition of Iowa in the Big Ten final gives the committee a compelling reason to reconsider.

West Virginia's first Big 12 tournament title since 2017 secured the Mountaineers a hosting spot, while Arizona State bolstered its bubble case with two Big 12 wins. Teams on the bubble like Nebraska and Notre Dame face uncertain fates, with the Cornhuskers' 20-point collapse against Indiana raising questions despite their NET ranking of 28. The Fighting Irish, however, are playing their best basketball with Hannah Hidalgo averaging over 25 points in her last seven games.
