We’ve shared our NCAA Women’s basketball wishes for 2024. But before the year officially turns over, let’s revisit the best college basketball moments from a monumental 2023.
Celebrating conference champs
First, it’s our “prerogative to have a little fun” and look back at last March’s conference tournaments, beginning with No. 7-seed Washington State’s run to the Pac-12 Tournament championship—all to the tune of Shaina Twain.
In the Big Ten, the Iowa Hawkeyes and Caitlin Clark presaged their run to the national championship game with a conference tournament title. Their in-state counterparts in the Big 12—Iowa State—also claimed conference tournament hardware behind the brilliance of Ashley Joens.
Down South, South Carolina looked like the SEC team most likely to win a national championship, cruising to the program’s seventh SEC Tournament championship. In the ACC, Virginia Tech showed their readiness for the Big Dance, claiming their first conference tournament title.
