Should South Carolina have been the No. 1 overall seed in the women’s NCAA Tournament?

The women’s NCAA Tournament gets underway this week. Dawn Staley and Lindsay Gottlieb aren’t happy with their seedings, but will it impact their paths to the Final Four?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.


Earlier this week, we finally got the bracket for the 2025 women’s NCAA Tournament. And then, debate ensued.

Should UCLA really have been the No. 1 overall seed, or did South Carolina deserve the top spot?

Notre Dame was the No. 1 team in the country just a few weeks ago. Was it right to place the Irish as a three-seed after they lost three-of-five games?

What do paths to the Final Four look like? And is it right that USC and UConn — powered by stars in JuJu Watkins and Paige Bueckers — have to potentially play each other in the Elite Eight for the second straight season?

We want your thoughts on women’s March Madness. Hit the polls below.
