Notre Dame women’s basketball remains a No. 1 seed in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament if it started today.
The No. 4 Fighting Irish (24-3, 15-1 ACC) remain one of the teams to beat in basketball despite a 104-95 loss to No. 13 NC State on Sunday, snapping a 19-game winning streak. No. 1 overall seed UCLA, Texas, and USC join Notre Dame as fellow No. 1 seeds. The same schools were also No. 1 seeds when the first women’s college basketball seedings were released on Feb. 16.
