Selection Sunday for the 2024 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament is finally here, as the 68-team field will be announced at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. Time to see where the top seeds are heading and which bubble teams will have a chance to compete in the Big Dance.
It has been a highly-competitive season with only South Carolina managing to stay undefeated. The Gamecocks, who are fresh off their second consecutive SEC Tournament title, are the only team who already know their fate as they have locked in the No. 1 overall seed with their perfect record.
