Two No. 1 seeds are Final Four bound.
The top overall-seeded UCLA Bruins and defending champion South Carolina Gamecocks on Sunday punched tickets to Tampa, Florida, for the national semifinals in the 2025 women's NCAA Tournament.
The Bruins, led by First Team All-American center Lauren Betts, defeated the No. 3 LSU Tigers to reach the program's first-ever Final Four. This year's Big Dance also marked the first time UCLA was the No. 1 overall seed.
The Gamecocks, meanwhile, are back in the national semifinals for the fifth straight year and seventh time since their first appearance in 2015 -- a stretch that's included three national championship triumphs. Dawn Staley's team survived another tight contest in the Elite Eight, outlasting the No. 2 Duke Blue Devils, and it now sits two wins away from a historic March Madness repeat.
The other two Final Four berths will be awarded on Monday. The No. 1 Texas Longhorns meet the No. 2 TCU Horned Frogs in an intrastate showdown, while the JuJu Watkins-less No. 1 USC Trojans take on the No. 2 UConn Huskies.
