After a thrilling and arduous journey through the 2025 Women's NCAA Tournament, South Carolina, Texas, UCLA and UConn will take the floor in Tampa, Fla. on Friday with the hopes of reaching Sunday's national championship game.

Madness continues Friday with the women’s Final Four. South Carolina faces Texas at 7 p.m. and UCLA meets Connecticut around 9:30 p.m.

Women's Final Four is a story of two very different types of team. On one side, you have UConn and South Carolina. Two juggernauts in the sport over the last decade (or in the case of the Huskies, the last generation-plus).

Three of the four No. 1 seeds made it to the final weekend of the NCAA Tournament, with UCLA, South Carolina and Texas still dancing. The odd one out is No. 2 seed UConn, a team that should by no means be considered an underdog.

One of the pieces not showing the trophy was of a 3-year-old South Carolina fan whose hair had been braided with beads that spelled out players’ names. Another puzzle piece was blank. On the right side of the page were a few sentences hand-written in gold Sharpie to Hall.

Though Dawn Staley is in her seventh Final Four game on Friday, she isn't at the top for overall appearances compared to other coaches.
