South Carolina has been the best women’s team in the country all season, but the Gamecocks will face plenty of stiff competition in the NCAA tournament.
The depth of talent in women’s basketball makes this one of the most anticipated NCAA tournaments to date. Perhaps the only constant among the top teams this season was South Carolina, which has been unwavering atop the rankings since the second week of the season and is the tournament’s No. 1 overall seed. The next tier’s teams have moved up and down in the rankings with no clear No. 2 emerging, but all are a threat to topple the Gamecocks.
Oregon transfer Te-Hina Paopao has been a main driver of the offensive resurgence, shooting a career-high 47 percent from three-point range this season. She and Cardoso also bring experience to lead a relatively young Gamecocks squad. The team’s young pieces, most notably SEC tournament most outstanding player MiLaysia Fulwiley , add the depth needed for another deep March run.
If the Hawkeyes fall short, it’s likely to be because Clark’s offensive dominance can’t overcome her team’s below-average defense. Iowa is allowing 93 points per 100 possessions on the season, which ranks in the 41st percentile.The Pac-12 has unquestionably been the top conference this season, with three teams ranked in the top six of the latest Associated Press poll. Its regular season champion, Stanford, is right in the mix for a trip to Cleveland for the Final Four.
Bueckers is joined by forward Aaliyah Edwards, who averaged 20 points per game in February. While the pair failed to simultaneously fire on all cylinders in U-Conn.’s early season matchups, they have been in sync as of late, and Connecticut is now playing its best basketball of the season.
