Throughout a calendar year, there aren’t many days we are without women’s basketball. College basketball’s regular season turns into March Madness, which blends seamlessly into the WNBA draft and its season. Now just a few weeks after the WNBA Finals, the college game is back and ready to pick up from the drama we saw in the spring.
It may be hard to top how last season ended, especially with a tournament that saw two No. 1 seeds missing the Sweet 16, an undefeated South Carolina team that held the No. 1 ranking all season booted in the Final Four and an LSU squad full of transfers and first-year players becoming champions.
We can expect a lot of familiar names to dominate throughout the season—Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes, Angel Reese and the Tigers, Paige Bueckers and the Huskies—but if last year taught us anything, there’s always room for chaos come March.
