Stanford was named the overall top seed in this year’s women’s NCAA basketball tournament Monday. Stanford was joined by fellow Number 1 seeds Connecticut, South Carolina and North Carolina State in the 64-team bracket.

It’s the first time as a Number 1 seed for N.C. State. The tournament begins with first round games starting on Sunday, with all games during the tournament to be played in the San Antonio, Texas, region because of the coronavirus pandemic.

On the same day that the bracket for the women’s NCAA basketball tournament was released Monday, it was announced that coach Geno Auriemma of UConn, one of the tournament’s Number 1 seeds, had tested positive for the coronavirus.

The 66-year-old Hall of Fame coach will miss at least the first two rounds of the tournament. Auriemma said he isn’t experiencing any symptoms.
