USC is seeded eighth after early prediction of ninth-place finish in Pac-12 and will face No. 9 South Dakota State in the NCAA tournament opener.
The Bruins are making their sixth appearance in the last seven NCAA tournaments. Since 2015, when the NCAA began using top-four seeds as host sites for the two rounds, UCLA has hosted three and advanced to the Sweet 16 every time.
The team celebrated with a watch party near campus. Athletic director Mike Bohn, donors, cheerleaders and band members packed a reception area at Rock and Reilly’s Irish Pub among players and coaches. This is the first time since 1997 that USC has sent its men’s and women’s teams to the NCAA tournament in the same year.
Led by senior Charisma Osborne and freshman Kiki Rice , the Bruins defeated Arizona and Stanford in the Pac-12 tournament en route to the championship game, where they fell to Washington State.
