South Carolina women's basketball team has been slotted as the No. 1 overall seed in ESPN's recent bracket projection.

Recently in the world of women's college basketball, ESPN bracketologist Charlie Creme has posted his updated bracket projection. The latest update indicates how dominant Dawn Staley's South Carolina Gamecocks have been to this point in the season, as they lay claim the top overall seed and are positioned as a formidable force in the upcoming tournament. Let's delve into the details of Creme's projection and the potential matchups that might unfold.

Creme's projection means the Gamecocks would have homecourt advantage in the first two rounds of the tournament, where they are projected to face off against strong competitors; among the teams vying for a spot in the regional, Iowa State and Washington State are highlighted, with an additional 16th-seed team set to emerge from a play-in game. 

If the tournament began today, the Albany 1 region, where South Carolina would be slotted, would have Stanford, Kansas State, and Virginia Tech rounding out the rest of the top four seeds.
