Just 19 days after the WNBA season ended, the 2023-24 women’s college basketball season begins Monday. The Las Vegas Aces won back-to-back championships in the WNBA; will the LSU Tigers repeat their NCAA title?
The South Carolina Gamecocks carried the No. 1 ranking throughout last season until their only loss: against the Iowa Hawkeyes in the national semifinals. The UConn Huskies were the last undefeated women’s champion, winning the program’s 11th NCAA title in 2016.
This season, we can expect LSU, UConn and South Carolina to be in the championship mix again, along with several other teams — some of which are still seeking their first Final Four.
Over the past few weeks, we have taken a look at the top 25 teams in the country, the top transfers, the top freshmen, the best nonconference games and schedules, the best of the Power 5, the projected players of the year in each conference and some of the biggest questions heading into the season.
Now, it’s time for some final preseason picks and predictions, from ESPN’s Charlie Creme, Alexa Philippou and Michael Voepel.
