The Longhorns are projected to be a No. 1 seed, while UTSA might make the tournament for the first time since 2009.

The NCAA women’s basketball selection committee shared its updated top 16 Sunday, a list that includes N.C. State, North Carolina and Duke.

Here's a closer look at the latest NCAA tournament bracket projections. ESPN's Charlie Creme kept Mississippi State as No. 9 seed this week. He has the Bulldogs matched up with No. 8 California. The winner would play either No. 1 UCLA or No. 16 seeds North Carolina A&T or Texas Southern.

Two of the top four seeds and three of the top six teams were from the conference among the prospective top 16 unveiled by the Women's Basketball Committee. Defending national champion South Carolina (No. 2, 23-2) and Texas (No. 3, 25-2) have two of the No. 1 seeds, while LSU is ranked No. 6 overall.

UCLA, South Carolina, Texas and Notre Dame would be the No. 1 seeds in the women's NCAA Tournament if it began now, the selection committee announced.

The madness is almost upon us. We are a few short weeks away from March Madness and the women's NCAA tournament. With top-ranked teams UCLA and South Carolina suffering losses this week, the tournament is sure to be as unpredictable as ever.

The NCAA basketball selection committee on Sunday did its first reveal of the teams in line for the top 16 seeds. “We were pretty certain as a group that we had the right four on the one line,” NCAA women’s basketball selection committee chair Derita Dawkins told The Associated Press in a phone interview.
