The Trojans were announced as the No. 8 seed in the Seattle 3 region on Selection Sunday.
LOS ANGELES — It’s been nine years since USC women’s basketball has appeared in the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. The tournament drought ended this weekend when the Trojans were announced as the No. 8 seed in the Seattle 3 region on Selection Sunday.
It’s the first time USC earned an at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament since 2006 and it’s the 17th trip to the tournament overall for the program. While it’s USC’s first trip in a while to the NCAA Tournament, a few transfer players and coach Lindsay Gottlieb have experience on the national stage. Gottlieb has now taken three programs to the NCAA Tournament in UC Santa Barbara, California and now USC. She coached Cal in the tournament seven times in eight seasons.USC was projected by ESPN as a No. 8 seed after falling to Oregon State in the first round of the Pac-12 Tournament in early March. Sissoko scored a team-high 16 points in the game, making it her fourth game scoring in double-digits.
