The 2021 women's NCAA tournament is finally here and the road to the national title began Monday night with the tournament's 64-team bracket reveal. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all games will take place in and around San Antonio this year, with regions named after Texas landmarks.<\/p>\n
No. 1-seeded teams include N.C. State (20-2), South Carolina (22-4), Connecticut (24-1) and Stanford (25-2). The Cardinal are the overall No. 1 and will be pursuing their third national title.<\/p>\n
The 2019 national champion Baylor Bears are a No. 2 seed in the River Walk region.<\/p>\n
The Huskies will be without coach Geno Auriemma for the opener Sunday as he isolates after a COVID-19 positive test Sunday. The school announced the news Monday, just hours before UConn was named a No. 1 seed. <\/p>\n
