It’s down to the Final Four.
A pair of No. 1 seeds in South Carolina and Iowa along with a pair of No. 3 seeds in UConn and NC State are headed to the Final Four of the 2024 women’s NCAA Tournament.
The national semifinal field is headlined by the undefeated and No. 1 overall seed Gamecocks, who are making a fourth consecutive Final Four appearance and seeking a third NCAA title since 2017. South Carolina carried a perfect season into last year’s Final Four as well, but the Gamecocks fell to Caitlin Clark and Iowa.
Speaking of the Hawkeyes, Clark and Co. advanced to the semifinals for a second straight year and got some revenge in the process. In a rematch of last season’s title game, Clark powered Iowa past the reigning champion No. 3 LSU Tigers in an Elite Eight thriller. Clark's 41-point showing put Iowa another step closer to its first national title.
