Iowa’s Bracket Path Unfolded: Projected Seed and Potential NCAA Opponents
On Selection Sunday, the Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball team is projected as a 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, with ESPN, HerHoopStats and CBS all placing Iowa on the 2-line though exact seeding order and opponents vary by projection. First‑round foes discussed include Cal Baptist (in several brackets), while second‑round opponents range from Georgia/Syracuse to Notre Dame or Clemson depending on the bracket. The piece also surveys likely 7/10 seeds and other potential region mates, notes Iowa’s 26-win season and the season‑long impact of Taylor McCabe’s ACL injury, and highlights regional alignments (some projections pair the Iowa City region with the Fort Worth bracket). Overall, Iowa’s seed status and path remain fluid as Selection Sunday conclusions roll in.
