The 2024-25 women’s college basketball comes down to Sunday’s national championship game between No. 2 seed UConn and No. 1 seed South Carolina.
It’s a rematch from the 2022 championship game, as legendary coaches Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley face off in a battle between eras. The Gamecocks defeated UConn in 2022, as Auriemma suffered his first and only national championship loss in what was then his 12th appearance in the title game.

Staley and South Carolina have dominated the sport in recent years, as they look to win their third national championship in the last four seasons. The Gamecocks have reached the Final Four every season since 2018-19.
UConn, meanwhile, looks to get back to its old ways of dominating women’s college basketball. Auriemma and the Huskies are on their longest championship drought since he won his first title in 1995, as they’ve yet to win a championship since 2016 — a drought of nine seasons.
