March Madness: Women's Final Four
No. 1 South Carolina vs. No. 1 Stanford, 6 p.m. ET: South Carolina rolled in their Elite Eight game, defeating No. 6 Texas 62–34. Meanwhile, Stanford struggled in theirs, falling to the largest deficit of their season before surging to a jaw-dropping 78–63 comeback victory over No. 2 Louisville. Even Ciara and Russell Wilson are fans.
- This top-seed showdown features two legendary coaches: Stanford’s Tara VanDeveer is the winningest coach in NCAA women’s history, while South Carolina’s Dawn Staley is a former WNBA great and 2020 Naismith Coach of the Year. Buckle up.
No. 3 Arizona vs. No. 1 UConn, 9:30 p.m. ET: While Arizona is the new kid on the block, reaching the women’s Final Four for the first time in school history, UConn is making their record-setting 13th (!!!) consecutive Final Four appearance. No bad luck here.
The aforementioned herstory-maker freshman Paige Bueckers (pronounced BECKERS) is averaging 20 points per game, but she’ll be up against two-time Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, Arizona’s Aari McDonald. What a matchup.
