Women's Final Four



The women’s NCAA Final Four tips off tonight, with No. 1 South Carolina set to take on No. 3 NC State (7 pm ET, ESPN), followed by No. 1 Iowa facing No. 3 Connecticut (9:30 pm ET, ESPN).


The Gamecocks enter their fourth consecutive Final Four undefeated, with the potential to become the 10th perfect national champion. The Wolfpack, led by Aziaha James, will play in its first Final Four since 1998. AP Player of the Year Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes will meet Paige Bueckers and the Huskies (see player comparison). Both teams boast offenses that ranked in the top 25 during the regular season.


The women’s tournament has captivated sports fans this year, marked by record-breaking viewership—the matchup between Iowa and LSU drew the highest number in women's college basketball history. Average ticket prices for the women’s Final Four exceed $2K, while the men's is around $1K—partly attributed to supply, with the women’s arena seating just under 20,000 and the men's seating around 70,000.


On the men’s side, No. 1 Purdue takes on No. 11 NC State Saturday (6 pm ET, TBS), followed by No. 1 Connecticut versus No. 4 Alabama (8:50 pm ET, TBS).
