March Madness is officially here and it's time for the fun part of filling out brackets.

Texas women's basketball secured a No. 1 seed and if the Longhorns win their first and second round games, they will travel north for the Fort Worth Regional. Wednesday's First Four win for Missouri State over Stephen F. Austin meant a "First Four" will determine who Texas plays Friday.

Other No. 1 seeds include UCLA and South Carolina. But UConn is undefeated and the No. 1 overall seed as they look to win the Huskies' second straight NCAA title. The last time UConn had a title streak, it was between 2013-2016.
