Who is in the Women's Final Four in 2024?

  • South Carolina (Regional 1)
  • Iowa (Regional 2)
  • UConn (Regional 3)
  • NC State (Regional 4)

The Gamecocks went all regular season without a loss. That hasn't changed so far in the playoffs. South Carolina has won three of four NCAA Tournament games by double-digits and is back in the Final Four looking to complete the undefeated season.

Clark continues to do her best to will the Hawkeyes to a title. She dropped 41 points against LSU to win in the Elite Eight and advance to the Final Four for a second straight season. 

The top-ranked Trojans were stunned by the Huskies in the Elite Eight as Paige Bueckers and company ended the thrilling run of JuJu Watkins. But this dangerous UConn team is experienced and poised to deliver a showdown against Clark.

The Wolfpack might not be as much of a surprise as the men's team was coming out of the No. 11 seed, but the No. 3-seeded NC State still needed to get past No. 1 Texas to reach the Final Four.
