Women’s College Basketball Preseason Favorites

The 2022-2023 women’s college basketball season is finally here, with the first slate of games kicking off on Monday, Nov. 7. Next week’s action jumpstarts a five-month-long campaign that will culminate with the national championship game on April 2 in Dallas. Ahead of the year’s tip-off, Sports Illustrated’s hoops writers are peering into their crystal balls to make predictions for what will unfold over the upcoming season.

Will reigning champs South Carolina be dethroned? Who will earn one of the coveted Final Four spots in Dallas? Who will live up to their preseason hype? We debate a range of topics across the sport as we look forward to what’s sure to be another riveting season in college hoops.

Dawn Staley led the Gamecocks on a dominant championship run last season.
