On April 4th 2025 the four teams competed in the Women’s basketball Final Four.
South Carolina went against Texas and UConn went against UCLA. In the South Carolina vs Texas game, South Carolina came out on top and became the first team to head to the championship. During the UConn and UCLA game UConn came out with the win. This will be the second time South Carolina and UConn play against each other this season. During the regular season South Carolina lost to UConn by over 20 points.
In 2022, the teams faced one another in the final and South Carolina won it all. Fans were ready for another rematch to see who can pull it through for the National Championships. The Women’s Basketball Championship was on April 6th 2025. UConn defeated South Carolina during the final game and took home the National Championship for the 2025 season. The win was Coach Gino’s 12th national championship–which now makes the UConn women’s basketball team have the most Championship wins.
Fans who came to Tampa Florida for the games got to experience many different things from concerts to open practices. Around the arena in Tampa there were different types of games fans could play. They also had something called Tourney Town which allowed sponsors of the game to sponsor their products and allowed people to play their games.
In Tourney Town you could also meet some Women’s basketball players like Hannah Hidalgo who plays for Notre Dame and A’ja Wilson, former Gamecock, who is in the WNBA. Other sponsorship activities included a free entry to the Glorilla concert and the open practices for both of the final teams.
