Pac-12 WBB: Seven NCAA bids, including a No. 1 seed, are the reward for a stellar season, but Oregon shut out

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 20:26:31 GMT

Pac-12 administrators and women’s basketball coaches lobbied hard for Oregon to make the NCAA Tournament but ultimately couldn’t convince the NCAA selection committee.Despite a lofty NET ranking (No. 19), Oregon was not among the 36 at-large selections to the NCAA field announced Sunday. So the Pac-12 goes into March Madness with a record-tying seven qualifiers rather than breaking the 2017 mark with eight.Regular season co-champion Stanford snagged the final No. 1 seed over Iowa and Connecticut despite losing two of its last three games. Stanford and Iowa could meet with a Final Four berth on the line.Selection committee chair Lisa Peterson said in an ESPN interview that Stanford’s 20 wins against top-100 opponents was a deciding factor in the No. 1 seed debate. The Cardinal is 13-5 in Quadrant 1 games, while UConn is 15-4 and Iowa 11-6. (Peterson is the Pac-12’s senior associate commissioner for sports management.)The other No. 1 seeds are undefeated South Carolina, the defe...
