March Madness Bracket Points
South Carolina earns No. 1 overall seed
The Shamcocks are undefeated in the regular season and are the No. 1 seed for the fourth consecutive year. Also in the area are No. 4 seed Indiana and No. 9 seed Michigan State, where Mackenzie Holmes is on the rise.
Iowa State has a tough draw despite being a 1 seed.
The Hawkeyes have their sights set on the championship they narrowly missed out on last season, but their region is a challenge. UCLA, which had held the No. 1 seed all season, became the No. 2 seed. LSU, which defeated Iowa in last year's championship game, is the No. 3 seed. The depth is deep, from No. 4 Kansas State and No. 5 Colorado to the Hawkeyes' second-round matchup against either West Virginia or Princeton. It's not easy to get back to the Final Four.

Watkins' 810 points were the fourth-most ever by a freshman and he was easily named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year. She led the Trojans to her Pac-12 Tournament title and secured the No. 1 seed spot. There's no next time for Watkins — she's a threat now.
Texas defeats Stanford to earn No. 1 seed
The final No. 1 seeds went to the University of Texas and Stanford, which went to the Longhorns. What's interesting is that Stanford is the No. 2 seed for the Longhorns. The teams won't meet until the Elite Eight, when no one needs extra motivation, but it will put a little bit of a burden on the Cardinal's shoulders.
