Bracketology: What seed might Utah women’s basketball get in the NCAA tournament?
This weekend, the Utah women’s basketball team will find out where it’s headed for the NCAA tournament.
The Utes are considered a lock to make their fourth straight NCAA tournament — tying the longest streak in school history — after finishing their first season in the Big 12 sixth in the league standings.
The Utes are the only school from the Beehive State that will make the NCAAs this year, a common theme in recent seasons.
Utah is led by a group that has vast postseason experience in seniors Kennady McQueen, Jenna Johnson and Ines Vieira, along with junior and leading scorer Gianna Kneepkens.
All four of those players have been on the team in each of the Utes’ appearances in the NCAA tournament over the past three seasons.
With Selection Sunday nearly here, what are the latest projections for what seed the Utes might get?
