Associated Press  

South Carolina, Indiana, Stanford and UConn would be the No. The NCAA women’s basketball selection committee did its first reveal of the teams in line for the top 16 seeds, although none of Thursday night’s games were factored in, including No. “It was incredibly hard,” NCAA selection committee chair Lisa Peterson said in a phone interview. “The committee talked longer than other top 16s I’ve been a part of.” The top 16 seeds will host first- and second-round games with the regional rounds being played at two neutral sites for the first time instead of the traditional four. South Carolina and Indiana were projected as the top seeds in the Greenville Regional with Stanford and UConn in Seattle.
