With Selection Sunday officially in the books, the march to the Final Four in Dallas begins for the field of 68 in the Women’s NCAA Tournament. Heading into this year’s tournament, basketball fans and bettors will be looking to see if Dawn Staley and South Carolina can win their second-straight national championship. The undefeated Gamecocks (32-0) are the favorites to win the national title (-175), putting them in rare air among the greatest women’s college basketball teams. Additionally, South Carolina is the first team to enter March undefeated since UConn and Mississippi State in 2018.
The Gamecocks will hope to have a better ending than those two teams, as Mississippi State picked up their first loss to South Carolina in the SEC tournament and then lost to Notre Dame in the national championship game. Meanwhile, UConn lost to Notre Dame in the Final Four thanks to a buzzer-beater from Arike Ogunbowale.
However, the road to another national title won’t be easy for Staley’s crew, as UConn, LSU, Iowa, and Indiana could derail their hopes and become the new queens of college basketball. Below, we will look at who could win the national championship from each region and some sleepers that could cause some havoc.
