The 2024 NCAA Women’s Tournament will tip-off Wednesday with a pair of First Four games in Columbia, S.C. between No. 16 seeds Presbyterian and Sacred Heart and No. 12 seeds Columbia and Vanderbilt. From there, it will be a sprint to the Final Four, which is set for April 5 and 7 in Cleveland.
Once the tournament wraps up, it will be time for the women’s basketball world to turn its attention to the professional game. The 2024 WNBA Draft is set for April 15, and opening night for the 2024 season will follow a month later on May 14. Iowa star Caitlin Clark is going to be the No. 1 overall pick to the Indiana Fever, but she’s not the only big name taking part in March Madness.
Ahead of all the NCAA Tournament action, here are 15 different prospects to watch, broken down by regional. Note: This only includes players who are eligible for the 2024 draft or have declared. Thus, star freshman such as JuJu Watkins are not included, nor are players who have already said they are going back to school, including Paige Bueckers.
