The upcoming Women's Final Four features a rematch of last year's finalists: UConn and South Carolina, alongside Texas and UCLA. All four teams are No. 1 seeds, showcasing their dominance in the tournament, evidenced by an average Elite Eight margin of victory of 23 points. UConn's elite players, such as Azzi Fudd, face off against a revamped South Carolina squad led by freshman Agot Makeer. Texas, looking to avenge its earlier loss to UCLA, will rely on standout players Madison Booker and Lauren Betts to push through to the National Championship.

By the Numbers
  • UConn has gone 54 consecutive games without a loss.
  • South Carolina has improved their three-point shooting to 37.3% this season.
Yes, But

Despite being powerhouse teams, past performance does not guarantee outcomes, as UConn and South Carolina's rosters have changed since last year's meetings, making this year unpredictable.

State of Play
  • UConn averages 87.9 points per game; South Carolina averages 87.1 points.
  • UCLA committed 12 turnovers in the first half against Duke in their Elite Eight game.
What's Next

On Friday night, UConn will face South Carolina at 7 p.m. ET, followed by Texas taking on UCLA at 9 p.m. ET, with the winners advancing to the National Championship game.

Bottom Line

This weekend's matchups are a battle of titans in women's college basketball, where the stakes are high and past performances meaningfully influence strategies, but anything can happen on the court.
