2024 women's NCAA Tournament automatic bids tracker
Atlantic 10 - Richmond Spiders
The Richmond Spiders improved to 29-5 with Sunday's 65-51 victory over the Rhode Island Rams. While they were not ranked in the latest AP Top 25 Poll, they have secured their spot in the postseason.
ACC - Notre Dame Fighting Irish
The No.14-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish have also locked up their spot in the women's NCAA Tournament. They narrowly beat the No.10-ranked North Carolina State Wolfpack by a score of 55-51 on Sunday to improve to 26-6.
Big South - Presbyterian Blue Hose
The Presbyterian Blue Hose routed the Radford Highlanders by a score of 60-37 to lock up their postseason spot. The Blue Hose improved to 20-14 and will reach the women's NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history.
Big Ten - Iowa Hawkeyes
The No.3-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes needed an extra period as they beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers 94-89 in an overtime thriller. It marks their third consecutive Big Ten title as they improved to 29-4 and likely locked up a No.1 seed in the women's NCAA Tournament.
Ohio Valley - UT-Martin Skyhawks
The UT-Martin Skyhawks were the first team to punch their ticket to March Madness, having done so on Saturday. Despite falling 81-53 to the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles to drop to 16-17, the shorthanded Skyhawks will represent the Ohio Valley Conference as the Screaming Eagles are ineligible for postseason play after reclassifying from Division II.
Pac-12 - USC Trojans
The No.5-ranked USC Trojans knocked off the No.2-ranked Stanford Cardinal by a score of 74-61. They improved to 26-5 while also likely securing a No.1 seed in the postseason as a result of their conference title.
SEC - South Carolina Gamecocks
The No.1-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks remained undefeated, improving to 32-0 with a 79-72 victory over the No.8-ranked LSU Tigers, who are the defending champions. They will likely enter the women's NCAA Tournament as the No.1 overall seed after winning their second consecutive SEC title.
Southern - Chattanooga Mocs
The Chattanooga Mocs locked up their postseason spot with a 69-60 victory over the UNC Greensboro Spartans. The Mocs improved to 28-4 while locking up their second consecutive Southern Conference title.
America East - Maine
Maine punched their ticket to March Madness with a win over third-seeded Vermont in a 16-point blowout. The Black Bears claimed their 10th conference title and improved to a 24-9 overall record.
