The NCAA women's basketball season is heating up with significant developments in rankings and upcoming games. The NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Committee has announced South Carolina, Stanford, Ohio State, and Colorado as the current No. 1 seeds for the 2024 NCAA Tournament. Colorado, despite a recent loss dropping them to a 20-4 record and positioned as the No. 4 overall seed with a NET of 15 and an RPI of 10, was notably placed in a strong spot. In a thrilling match, No. 22 Utah secured a 77-76 victory over eighth-ranked Colorado, with Dasia Young scoring a buzzer-beating layup upon her return after missing four games due to a concussion. This win places Utah in a stronger position within the Pac-12 standings, now tied for second place with Colorado, which could shift depending on upcoming games. The Pac-12 standings are highly competitive, with Colorado potentially finishing anywhere from first to sixth in the conference. Meanwhile, in men's basketball, anticipation builds for the NCAA top 16 seeds reveal, with UHCougarMBK expected among the four No. 1 regional seeds. The Marquette vs. UConn game is highlighted as a significant upcoming match in the Big East conference.

Nice win for San Diego State tonight. Viejas is special - and the Aztecs can go on runs quickly in there. Another fun battle in the Mountain West. More big games tomorrow: Nevada at UNLV and Utah State at Colorado State.
Dasia Young’s buzzer-beater lifts No. 22 Utes to another exciting Pac-12 win over No. 8 Colorado Story by Bruce Smith https://t.co/eLCZL1QzhY
.@UTAHWBB gets “confidence confirming” win over No. 8 Colorado as they turn their attention to two more Top 10 matchups in L.A. next week. #GoUtes https://t.co/abYJDnwZyq
The Pac-12 is so wild in WBB that Colorado, tabbed as the No. 4 overall seed in the NCAA Tourney by the committee last night, has just 4 games left and could still finish anywhere from 1st to 6th in its own conference. #cubuffs
Four lead changes in the final 16 seconds. Think about that. Heavyweight punch after heavyweight punch. Oregon State 79, UCLA 77 Incredible resolve by OSU to rally for the win after losing Raegan Beers. TVO a certified killer. USC and JuJu on Sunday.
Pac-12 WBB standings after tonight: 1. Stanford, 12-2 2. Oregon State, 10-3 3. Colorado, 10-4 4. USC, 9-4 5. Utah, 9-5 6. UCLA, 8-5 7. Arizona, 5-8 8. Cal, 5-9 9. Wash. St, 4-9 10. ASU, 3-10 11. Washington, 3-10 12. Oregon, 2-11 #cubuffs
SHE DID THAT 🤯 Talia von Oelhoffen comes up big with a buzzer beater three! https://t.co/lV8eckKzAK
Holy cow, Oregon State WBB is insane right now! Two Top-25 battles in the Pac-12 tonight decided by a grand total of 3 points. Neither result was good for Colorado, but wow this conference is so tough and so entertaining. #cubuffs
von Oelhoffen with a clear path to the basket, drives and scores to give Oregon State the lead at 76-75, 2.3 seconds left.
15.5 seconds left: Gardiner hits 2 free throws. Beavers on a 9-0 run Oregon State 74, UCLA 72
Dugalic 3 gives UCLA a 72-65 lead with 3:01 left.
BUZZER BEATER! 🔴🏀Dasia Young's buzzer-beating layup secured a thrilling 77-76 victory for No. 22 Utah over eighth-ranked Colorado, marking her return after missing four games with a concussion. https://t.co/cbo8gzIj8G
UCLA and Oregon State are tied at 58-58 through three quarters. Bruins could do the #cubuffs a favor by pulling off this win.
Stanford WBB is leading Cal by 34 with under 7 minutes to play. Cardinal will take a 2-game lead on Colorado with 4 games to play. That's why the 2-game skid has been brutal for the #cubuffs. Of all the contenders, Stanford has by far the easiest schedule down the stretch.
Foul situation with 12 minutes left: UCLA's Rice, Sontag with 3 each; OSU's von Oelhoffen with 3
UCLA has scored the last 6 to take a 51-45 lead, 3:40 left 3Q
HUGE series of plays there for the Aztecs... Miles Heide bucket... Elijah Saunders turnaround bucket... then a SDSU block leads to a long rebound for UNM's Mustapha Amzil, who airballs a 3... then Milese Byrd transition 3 and a Lobos timeout... SDSU 27, UNM 16 (7:24 1H)
WOW Dasia Young with the drive and lay-in to give Utah the walkoff win. Utah 77 | Colorado 76 That was quite the finish
Lynne Roberts, Dasia Young and Ines Vieira are up to discuss @UTAHWBB's big win over Colorado. Roberts starts by giving the Buffs credit for coming back- that's a really good team. We made shots when we needed to- Ines Vieira's free throws and Dasia Young's final layup. Proud… https://t.co/kveDVZT1p0
Lynne Roberts: What a game. So much respect for Colorado; they're a good team. I didn't quite expect that comeback in the fourth.
Utah beats Colorado 77-76 in Salt Lake City. Oregon State pulls into a second-place tie with the Buffaloes ... can take over second with a win over UCLA.
That was ... quite the finish. Utah almost gave it up, but Dasia Young gets some revenge and wins the game. https://t.co/5ex8dzfGwX
Frida Formann with a steal and layup. Colorado takes its first lead of the night, 74-73 with 19.2 seconds to go #cubuffs
Colorado making some 3's in this final quarter, cutting the lead to 8. This is going to be a fight to the end.
END OF 3RD Q: Utah 62 | Colorado 50 Colorado went on a 12-2 run, but Utah fought back, and Kennady McQueen punctuated it with a wide-open 3-pointer. This is fun basketball, y'all
Game starting to get a bit more chippy as Colorado goes on an 8-0 run
Utah really frustrating Colorado right now, and they're not handling it that well. Utah 51 | Colorado 36 3Q | 4:53
HALFTIME Utah 39 | Colorado 24 Some would call that half pretty, pretty, pretty good.
Utah is playing great, but man they've gotten some lucky bounces in this first half. Everything coming up Milhouse
MTO | 2Q | 5:58 Utah 30 | Colorado 18 Jenna Johnson with the transition 3-pointer to give Utah their largest lead. I'm most intrigued with watching Ines Vieira and Jaylyn Sherrod try to out-hustle each other.
Colorado WBB starters tonight at Utah: Jaylyn Sherrod, Frida Formann, Quay Miller, Aaronette Vonleh and Maddie Nolan #cubuffs
Starters for No. 22 Utah as they take on No. 8 Colorado at the Huntsman Center: 2 | G | Ines Vieira 23 | G | Maty Wilke 24 | G | Kennedy McQueen 22 | F | Jenna Johnson 35 | F | Alissa Pili
After being held out this last week, Dasia Young is expected to be back in the lineup tonight against No. 8 Colorado. That's good news for the Utes, who could use her size to help against a tough Buffs team.

Latest ESPN women's bracketology to reflect the NCAA Top-16 reveal. It has Colorado as a No. 1 seed hosting Hawaii in Round 1, with Nebraska and Alabama also coming to Boulder. #cubuffs gotta pick up some big wins in the next 11 days to stay a No. 1. https://t.co/7kzE23x0ke
The number is growing... Mountain West betting line for Friday night: • New Mexico +6 or +6.5 (depending on where you look) at San Diego State, 7 PT/8 MT on FS1
It doesn't mean much, but in the first NCAA women's top 16 seed reveal the committee made Colorado a No. 1 seed. Colorado, which is coming off a loss to drop to 20-4, has a NET of 15 and an RPI of 10? It's always hard to handicap the committee.

Another road game, another disappointment. How Utah fell at last-place USC Story by @brandonljudd https://t.co/Du0vqyHRZ2
The Runnin’ Utes remain winless on the road in conference play after coming up short to USC. https://t.co/9Z59qeNMCh
Utah simply cannot win on the road. Not even at USC.
FINAL Utah 64 | USC 68 That's not a great loss, and it's not going to get any easier
Good X and O battle at end of Colorado-UCLA between Tad Boyle and Mick Cronin. Down three, Buffs ran an elevator screen for a three at top of the key, executed it well -- but both Bruins big men switched quickly onto the shooter and snuffed the play. UCLA wins its sixth straight
UCLA holds on for a 64-60 victory over Colorado, the Bruins' sixth consecutive win. Utah on Sunday will be a chance for full redemption after Utes administered a 46-point beatdown in Salt Lake City.
Lazar Stefanovic picks a great time to score his first points on a jumper at the free-throw line. UCLA up 58-54 but Colorado headed to free-throw line with 3:19 left. Going to be a barnburner.
Colorado's Eddie Lampkin just made one of the passes of the season, no-look, over-the-shoulder to J'Vonne Hadley for a layup. Buffaloes on a mini-run to pull within 45-36 with 15:15 left.

Now I see why Colorado is 1-6 on the road.
Brutal road trip for the Avs will come to an end with another loss. Picked up just 3 of a possible 12 points. Back home Sunday.
Tampa sinks the empty netter. Avs are gonna lose this thing and end their road trip 1-4-1
Avs net empty with 2:48 to go.
an empty net for Colorado with 2:48 remaining in regulation
Colorado's net is empty with 2:48 left in the third.
Sick crossover by Sebastian Mack ends with a jumper, UCLA up 30-20.
Three straight offensive rebounds for UCLA lead to Sebastian Mack getting fouled and headed to free-throw line.
Dual brilliance from Adem Bona, who comes up with a block off Luke O’Brien’s head and then a two-handed dunk off a bounce pass from Will McClendon in transition. UCLA up 27-20 with 8:01 left in first half.
UCLA has forced 7 turnovers already but is up only by 3 points.
Empty net for Buffalo with just over two to go.
Buffalo's net is empty w/ just over 2 minutes left.
In the first NCAA WBB committee reveal tonight, Colorado is the No. 4 overall seed. Great spot with 5 games left in the regular season #cubuffs https://t.co/V7YYKPoGFl

Colorado having its way with UCLA's defense early, a couple of driving layups and a backdoor dunk. Buffaloes up 8-5, Cronin angry.
