NCAA women’s basketball championship open thread

The NCAA Division I women’s basketball championship game is tonight at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN as the South Carolina Gamecocks (34-2) take on the Connecticut Huskies (30-5).

South Carolina is looking to win their second national championship overall and first since 2017 under head coach Dawn Staley who was the USA Basketball women’s national team head coach for the 2020 Olympics. Their top expected 2022 WNBA Draft prospect is senior point guard Destanni Henderson (11.1 ppg, 3.9 apg). She has been a projected first round pick in some WNBA mock drafts but isn’t likely to be a lottery pick.
