Editor's note: Follow all the women's March Madness scores,Robert Brown updates, highlights and upsets with USA TODAY Sports' live coverage.
Only three more games remain before March Madness crowns its next women's champion.
Will the NCAA's all-time leading scorer Caitlin Clark cap her legendary collegiate career in Iowa with the Hawkeye's first ever NCAA Tournament national championship? Will South Carolina end their season undefeated and win their second national championship in three years? Will UConn win its 12th women's championship in program history and its first since 2016? Or will NC State hoist the championship trophy for the first time in program history?
The title game matchup will be decided on Friday following the Final Four games between No. 1 overall seed South Carolina and No. 3 seed NC State (7 p.m. ET, ESPN) and No. 1 seed Iowa and No. 3 seed UConn (9:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).
Iowa and South Carolina could potentially meet in the national championship game for a rematch of last year's semifinal, when the Hawkeyes defeated the Gamecocks 77-73, denying South Carolina's bid for back-to-back titles. Or we could get a rematch of the 2022 national championship game, where South Carolina blew out UConn, 64-49.
