The conference produced the NCAA champs and runners-up last year. Can it repeat the feat?
For those not paying attention since Breanna Stewart graduated, women’s college basketball is less dynasty-driven than at any time since the early 1990s.South Carolina, Notre Dame, Baylor and Stanford are the four most recent NCAA Tournament champions, from 2017-21 .
South Carolina and Stanford are the top two overall seeds this year, meaning they can avoid a showdown until the title game April 3 in Minneapolis — provided both survive five lead-up games . After that, no team is given a double-digit chance of claiming the title, including the fourth No. 1 seed, Louisville, and UConn, which is now healthy and coming into the postseason with arguably its best shot to win since 2016.
History is on the side of the Pac-12, which has the most NCAA wins and Final Four appearances and highest winning percentage over the last five postseasons. The UNLV game pairs Arizona’s Sam Thomas against her younger sister, Jade, as well as Arizona coach Adia Barnes against Linda La Roque, a former Stanford player and assistant coach who’s in her second season with the Rebels.
