Moreover, Purdue, Kansas, and Houston were selected as the top seeds in the East, Midwest, and West regions, respectively.

On the women’s side, South Carolina reclaimed the No. 1 overall seed as coach Dawn Staley, and her Gamecocks try to not only return to the Final Four for the sixth time in seven years but also defend their title from 2022.
