Women's Final Four Brings Powerhouses Uconn, Ucla, Texas And South Carolina To Tampa

Three of four teams in the women's Final Four are No. 1 seeds. None of the four have lost more than three games this season. All but one have been the top-ranked team in the country at some point.

That's how strong the national semifinals are this year, with powerhouses UCLA, Texas, South Carolina and UConn competing in Tampa, Florida, for a national championship.

"Whoever gets through this semifinal and final will have done it against the best of the best," said Texas coach Vic Schaefer, who has led his second school to the Final Four after getting Mississippi State there in 2017 and 2018. "So I think for all of us, we all understand it. It's hard to do."

UCLA, South Carolina and Texas are No. 1 seeds. UConn is a No. 2 seed but has certainly looked the part of a top-seeded team behind Paige Bueckers - perhaps the biggest star in the tournament who's the primary reason the Huskies are the betting favorite to win it all.

Texas 35-3 and South Carolina 34-3 are scheduled to face each other for the fourth time this season in the first of two semifinals on Friday. UConn 35-3 will play UCLA 34-2 in the other.
