The official start of March Madness is here for women's college basketball.

For the SEC this season, the SEC Women's Basketball Tournament is bigger and tougher than ever with the additions of the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns.

The tournament will also still include powerhouses LSU Tigers and defending champions South Carolina Gamecocks, with the SEC featuring seven ranked teams in the latest Associated Press Top 25.

With the additions, the bracket was expanded to 16 teams, but it's not a traditional 16-team bracket. The 5-8 seeds get first-round byes, while the top four seeds get byes the first two rounds.
