Final Four Repeat: UConn, UCLA, Texas, South Carolina

The women's Final Four features an identical field to last season, with UConn, UCLA, Texas and South Carolina returning for the second straight year.

The only time this has happened before was when UConn, Tennessee, Stanford and Georgia made consecutive Final Four appearances from 1995-96. This year's matchups have shifted, with undefeated national champion UConn (38-0) facing South Carolina in Phoenix while UCLA takes on Texas. UConn, led by All-Americans Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd, is seeking their seventh undefeated season and has won 54 straight games over two seasons. South Carolina, appearing in their seventh Final Four in nine seasons under coach Dawn Staley, will look to avenge last year's championship loss to the Huskies.
