UConn vs. South Carolina: Championship game picks, analysis

Two of the most dominant programs in women's college basketball over the past decade will decide the 2025 NCAA title. South Carolina, the defending national champion, has won three titles in that stretch: 2017, 2022 and last year while going undefeated.

UConn won its most recent NCAA title -- and 11th overall -- in 2016. The Huskies have reached the Final Four 24 times. That includes every year since 2008 except for 2023, when star guard Paige Bueckers missed the season with an ACL injury.

The Gamecocks and Huskies have met before in the national championship game, in 2022 in Bueckers' hometown of Minneapolis.
