Hey gang - been out and about aaaallllll day, so didn't see anything online. CC updated the chart at 1:15 am today (!!!) so here's his update:
Even with JuJu Watkins having her worst game of the season, USC did what almost no one predicted in October: win the Pac-12 tournament. With it probably comes something that was even more unlikely: a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Trojans were projected as a 5-seed in the preseason. Sunday's nine-point, 2-for-15 shooting performance notwithstanding, consider Year 1 of the Watkins era a monumental success. Iowa was a projected No. 2 seed in the preseason, so even Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes exceeded their already lofty expectations. Sunday's Big Ten tournament championship in overtime over Nebraska also should wrap up a top seed for Iowa. It took every one of Clark's 30 second-half points to do it, but the Hawkeyes should have their third No. 1 seed -- and the first one with Clark.
