With the First Four completed and the first round of the 2024 women's NCAA tournament about to begin, the overall question is obvious: Can anyone stop undefeated South Carolina?

The Gamecocks appear to be comfortable favorites in the Albany 1 Regional, although ACC tournament champion Notre Dame lurks as a potential Elite Eight opponent.
