For the third time in the past four years, the Louisville women’s basketball team earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The Cardinals (25-4) lost to Miami in the Atlantic Conference Tournament, but their overall resume was strong enough to land Louisville a No. 1 seed. South Carolina, Stanford and North Carolina State also received top seeds.
Louisville is in the Wichita Region and will play 16th seed Albany on Friday at the KFC Yum! Center.

Louisville is making its 24th appearance in the NCAA Tournament and is the only team in the country to secure a No. 1 seed three times in the last four tournaments.
The Louisville/Albany winner will play the winner of No. 8 seed Nebraska (24-8) and No. 9 seed Gonzaga (26-6) on Sunday.
The Kentucky women’s basketball team, which captured its first Southeastern Conference Tournament title since 1982 by stunning top-ranked South Carolina, was placed in the Bridgeport Region as a No. 6 seed and will take on 11th-seeded Princeton in the opening round Saturday in Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana.
The Wildcats (19-11) defeated the top three seeds in four days in the SEC Tournament and carry a 10-game winning streak into the tournament.
This is the third time the Wildcats have been a No. 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament and their 17th all-time appearance. UK is 2-2 all-time as a sixth seed. UK was last a six seed in 2019 when it defeated Princeton in the first round in Raleigh, North Carolina, before falling to No. 3 seed N.C. State.
State-Journal.com’s comments forum is for civil, constructive dialogue about news topics in our community, state, nation and world. We emphasize “civil” at a time when Americans, in the words of the current president, need to “turn down the temperature” of political debates. The State Journal will do its part by more carefully policing this forum. Here are some rules that all commenters must agree to follow:
Absolutely no attacks on other commenters, on guest columnists or on authors of letters to the editor. Our print and online opinion pages are sacred marketplaces of ideas where diverse viewpoints are welcome without fear of retribution. You may constructively critique the ideas and opinions of others, but name-calling, stereotyping and similar attacks are strictly prohibited.
Leeway will be given for criticism of elected officials and other public figures, but civility is essential. If you focus your criticism on ideas, opinions and viewpoints, you will be less likely to run afoul of our commenting rules.
Keep comments focused on the article or commentary in question. Don’t use an article about the Frankfort City Commission, for example, to rant about national politics.
Hyperpartisanship that suggests anyone on the other side of an issue or anyone in a particular particular party is evil is not welcome. If you believe that all Democrats are socialists intent on destroying America or that all Republicans are racists, there are lots of places on the internet for you to espouse those views. State-Journal.com is not one.
No sophomoric banter. This isn’t a third-grade classroom but rather a place for serious consumers of news to offer their reactions and opinions on news stories and published commentary.
No consumer complaints about individual businesses. If you’ve had a bad experience with a private business or organization, contact the Better Business Bureau or the government agency that regulates that business. If you believe the actions of a private business are newsworthy, contact us at news@state-journal.com and we will consider whether news coverage is merited.
Absolutely no jokes or comments about a person’s physical appearance.
No promotion of commercial goods or services. Our outstanding staff of marketing consultants stands ready to help businesses with effective advertising solutions.
If you state facts that have not been previously reported by The State Journal, be sure to include the source of your information.
No attacks on State Journal staff members or contributing writers. We welcome questions about, and criticism of, our news stories and commentary but not of the writers who work tirelessly to keep their community informed. Corrections of inaccurate information in news stories should be sent to news@state-journal.com rather than posted in the comments section.
