Caitlin Clark has transitioned to a professional career, leading to Iowa’s early exit from the NCAA Women’s Tournament in the second round this year. Meanwhile, South Carolina is aiming to maintain its success in the competition.
The Gamecocks defeated the Hawkeyes last year, completing what was termed the "revenge tour" following their 2023 loss. Now, the team is focused on building a lasting legacy but must first overcome the University of Texas, followed by a match against either UConn or UCLA.
Although the NCAA Women’s Final Four may not be drawing as much attention as in previous years due to the departure of several high-profile players to professional ranks, it continues to be a significant event for basketball enthusiasts.
The schedule and viewing information for the Women’s Final Four games have been released.
