Women's Final Four 2026: Semifinal predictions, analysis
"UConn won in Columbia 87-58 in February 2025 and then dominated South Carolina again to win a 12th national championship 82-59. Azzi Fudd was the star of both games, with a combined 52 points."
"Texas pushed UCLA around for the first 20 minutes the day before Thanksgiving and led by 20 at halftime before cruising to an 11-point win. The Bruins responded to that loss with a 29-game winning streak."
"This a Final Four full of stars such as UConn's Sarah Strong and Fudd, Madison Booker of Texas and UCLA's Lauren Betts -- four of the five first-team All-Americans."
"Betts might have scored a lot of points against UConn in the 85-51 semifinal loss last year, but UCLA did not meet the moment and got blown out as the No. 1 overall seed."
The women's Final Four showcases the same elite teams as last year, with UConn facing South Carolina and UCLA clashing with Texas. UConn previously defeated South Carolina in the national championship and has a strong winning streak. Texas handed UCLA their only loss this season, but UCLA has since rebounded with a 29-game winning streak. Key players include UConn's Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong, Texas's Madison Booker, and UCLA's Lauren Betts. Predictions are made on which teams will prevail in the semifinals.
