Unbeaten UConn, gunning for its fifth NCAA title in six years, is the No. 1 overall seed in the 2018 women's Division I basketball tournament.
The bracket, released Monday night, has Notre Dame, Louisville and Mississippi State as the other top region seeds.
The Huskies (32-0), led by Katie Lou Samuelson (17.9 ppg), haven't lost since Mississippi State broke their 111-game winning streak in last year's Final Four. UConn has been so dominant this season that it has won all but two games by double-digit margins and outscored opponents by an average of 36.9 points a game.
Mississippi State (32-1) was undefeated, too, until losing to defending national champion South Carolina in the SEC Tournament.
South Carolina likely awaits UConn in the 2018 tournament's Elite Eight.
