The stage is set for an epic showdown in Tampa as the UConn Huskies women's basketball team and South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball battle for the 2025 NCAA women’s basketball championship. Both teams have dominated women's college basketball in recent years, but only one will leave Amalie Arena with the trophy.

The Road to the Title Game

UConn’s Dominant Run

  • Paige Bueckers leads the charge in her final collegiate game, aiming for her first women's March Madness title.
  • Freshman Sarah Strong (22 pts, 8 reb in the semifinal) and KK Arnold have stepped up in March.
  • Crushed UCLA 85-51 in the Final Four, showcasing their elite offense.
  • Earlier this season, UConn women's basketball stunned South Carolina women's basketball 87-58 in Columbia.

South Carolina’s Quest for a Repeat

  • The defending champs seek their third title in four years under Dawn Staley.
  • Depth is their strength—10 players scored in their 74-57 semifinal win over Texas.
  • Since losing to UConn in February, they’ve won 12 straight, fueled by defense and resilience.
  • Key players like Chloe Kitts and Te-Hina Paopao have been crucial in women's NCAA tournament.

Key Storylines

1. Can South Carolina Avenge Their February Loss?

  • The Gamecocks women's basketball called their performance in the regular-season meeting "embarrassing."
  • Raven Johnson says they’re a "different team now."
  • Dawn Staley’s defense must contain UConn’s trio of Bueckers, Strong, and Azzi Fudd.

2. Paige Bueckers’ Legacy Moment

  • Bueckers, a Wooden Award winner, has never won a title—will this be her crowning moment?
  • Staley pushed back on the narrative, saying:

    "Paige is legit. Her career is legendary. She will leave a legacy at UConn whether she wins one or not."

3. X-Factors

  • UConn’s Pace: The Huskies’ fast tempo overwhelmed UCLA—can South Carolina adjust?
  • South Carolina’s Bench: Their 35 bench points vs. Texas could be the difference.

How to Watch: UConn vs. South Carolina
