The Final Four features the same four teams for the second consecutive season, a feat last accomplished in 1995-96. UConn defeated South Carolina 82-59 in last year's title game, ending a nine-year championship drought for the Huskies. This year, South Carolina has an improved offense despite missing key player Chloe Kitts to injury, averaging 87.1 points per game.
A doubleheader tip-off begins with UCLA facing Texas before UConn and South Carolina square off. Azzi Fudd, who was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four last year, will be a key player to watch as the two powerhouse programs battle for a spot in the national championship game.
