The 2025 women’s NCAA basketball tournament is underway, and the field is down to 12 teams looking to make their mark on history. The UCLA Bruins clinched the overall No. 1 seed after a resounding Big 10 tournament win, and spent 12 weeks at No. 1 in the AP poll, while across the bracket is reigning champion South Carolina, looking to repeat history and give head coach Dawn Staley her fourth ring.
The USC Trojans and Texas Longhorns round out the top seeds, but it is 2-seed Uconn that is the current betting favorites, especially after an injury to star Trojans guard JuJu Watkins shook up the Spokane Regional quadrant of the bracket.
The road to the Final Four now continues on Saturday and Sunday. Watch every game on ABC, ESPN and ESPN+.
