The Eagles on Sunday beat Liberty 84-62 to win its 11th Atlantic Sun Conference title and seventh tournament championship. Next stop: the NCAA Tournament. (Credit: Nicholas Huenefeld/FGCU) Florida Gulf Coast received a No. 11 seed for the NCAA women’s basketball tournament and will face No. 6 Michigan on Sunday. Despite winning its 25th straight game on Sunday, FGCU (26-2) finished out The Associated Press women’s college basketball poll at No. 24, unchanged from last week. The USA Today final coaches poll had FGCU ranked No. 21. The Eagles on Sunday beat Liberty 84-62 to win its 11th Atlantic Sun Conference title and seventh tournament championship. N.C. State is a No. 1 seed for the first time, joining Stanford, South Carolina and Connecticut on the top lines for the San Antonio-themed regions for the women’s tourney. The Cardinal earned the overall No. 1 when the field was revealed Monday night. “The No. 1 seed is a is a great honor, obviously,” N.C. State coach Wes Moore said. “Y’all know me, I’d rather just stayed a No. 2 and laid low.” Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer downplayed being the top choice. “What I really tell our team is seeds do not matter,” she said. “It’s not like you get any extra points when you show up at the gym.” VanDerveer said being healthy and excited to play was most important. Teams basically will be locked down in hotels except to head to practice or games as part of the stringent COVID-19 safety protocols. Auriemma’s Texas arrival will be delayed. He will remain in isolation for 10 days and can rejoin the team on March 24. The other members of UConn’s travel party have tested negative for COVID-19. Auriemma will miss the Huskies’ opening game against High Point — one of four first-timers in the NCAAs — and a potential second-round matchup against either Syracuse or South Dakota State. “I’m an innocent bystander right now. I’m going to sit back and watch them do their thing,” he said. ”(Assistant coach Chris Dailey) is undefeated in tournament play. I don’t think you can get a coach who has a better record in the tournament than she does.” While the coronavirus caused many disruptions to the schedule throughout the regular season, it looks as if most of the teams in the field made it to the tournament healthy. Stanford, which will open against Utah Valley, had quite the odyssey this season because of the coronavirus. It had to play on the road for nine weeks after Santa Clara County health officials announced they were prohibiting all contact sports in late November. The Cardinals, who are looking for their third national championship, are the top seed in the Alamo region. The Hemisfair, Mercado and River Walk are the other region names. For the past few years, earning one of the top 16 seeds would put a team at home in the tournament’s first two rounds, but that’s not the case this March. Every game will be played in the San Antonio area because of the pandemic, with the last four rounds tipping off at the Alamodome. This could be one of the most wide-open tournaments, with a dozen teams capable of winning the title. There were five No. 1 teams in The Associated Press women’s basketball poll this year, including the Huskies, who finished the season at No. 1. The national semifinals take place on April 2, and the championship game will be held April 4. Tennessee continued its streak of making the NCAA Tournament all 39 years. Joining High Point as NCAA rookies are Stony Brook, Utah Valley and Bradley. Notre Dame’s run of 24 straight NCAA appearances came to an end. The Irish were one of the first four teams out of the tournament. They were joined just outside the field by Houston, DePaul and Oklahoma. Even without Notre Dame, the ACC is well represented with eight teams. The SEC and the Big Ten each had seven schools. The Pac-12 had six, and the Big 12 had five. With no tournament played last season because of the virus, Baylor is still the defending champion. Coach Kim Mulkey’s team is very different from the one that won the title, but still is quite talented, winning the Big 12 regular season and conference tournaments. The Lady Bears are a No. 2 seed in UConn’s region. Like Baylor, the other three two seeds — Louisville, Texas A&M and Maryland — at some point were in consideration for the one line. “We did have a lot of teams, a lot of discussion around who are the four who were just right for the one line,” NCAA selection committee chair Nina King said.
