The No. 1 seeds in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament have the best roads and chances at a Final Four appearance. But there are teams below them that could still make it to Dallas.
That group is led by Iowa and UConn, two No. 2 seeds that were in contention for the top-seed line. Committee chair Lisa Peterson said the 12-person group leaned toward Stanford for the final No. 1 seed in part for its 20-5 record against teams ranked in the NET top 100. Iowa is 18-5 in the category and UConn is 19-5.
