Can UCLA steal the No. 1 overall seed from UConn after 51-point rout in Big Ten final?
UCLA’s 18 Quad 1 wins and strongest strength of schedule bolster their bid for top seed, challenging undefeated UConn’s hold on the No. 1 spot, Selection Committee will decide.
- On Sunday, the UCLA Bruins women's basketball team routed the Iowa Hawkeyes 96-45 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse to win the Big Ten Women's Basketball Tournament with a record 51-point margin, bolstering their case for the No. 1 NCAA seed.
- Behind the numbers, UCLA leads the nation with 18 Quad 1 wins and ranks first in Wins Above Bubble at 16.25 despite a lone neutral-court loss to Texas in Big Ten play.
- The NCAA's NET system—adjusted net efficiency plus a team value index—is a key factor, yet CBS Sports Bracketologist Connor Groel projects UConn as No. 1 despite UCLA's better resume.
- The NCAA selection committee will reveal the bracket on Selection Sunday, March 15, possibly placing UCLA in the Sacramento Regional and UConn in Fort Worth, affecting rest before the Final Four on April 3.
- UConn Huskies women's basketball team's unbeaten run and history of 10 of 12 teams earning the No.1 seed in 25 years bolster their case if they win the Big East Tournament.
