It's been five months in the making, but the day has finally arrived. Welcome to Selection Sunday.
From now on, it's single elimination with a national championship on the line. And tonight, we'll find out what the Women's NCAA Tournament bracket officially looks like.
The No. 1 seeds should be settled: UCLA, South Carolina, Texas and USC. UConn finished the season strong but will most likely end up as the top No. 2 seed.
Notre Dame and TCU should join the Huskies on the No. 2 line, but the final spot on that seed line is up for grabs between ACC Tournament champion Duke and ACC regular-season champion NC State.
The Ivy League has dominated much of the bubble discussion over the last few weeks. Harvard has been the Ivy's top team in the NET rankings this season but entered the conference tournament as just the No. 3 seed.
However, Harmoni Turner scored a combined 68 points in wins over Columbia and Princeton to secure an automatic berth and a projected No. 10 seed in the Big Dance.
A three-bid Ivy League is still possible, but our final projections have Columbia in the last four in and Princeton as the first team out.
The beneficiary to Princeton's semifinal loss in the Ivy League Tournament is Colorado, a team hoping that huge Quad-1 wins over Kansas State and West Virginia are enough to prop up a shaky resume overall.
Outside of Princeton, the next-likeliest teams currently on the outside looking in are James Madison, which dominated the Sun Belt all season before losing the conference championship game, and Virginia Tech, which went .500 in a strong ACC but has just one Quad-1 win.
Any team outside of those three that jumps into the field would be a real surprise.
Here is our final projected field of 68, with just hours until the reveal.
NET and SOS data is accurate as of Sunday morning. Double asterisks (**) represent teams who have won their conference tournaments.
