The 2025 Women’s NCAA Tournament has reached its climax, with the championship game set to feature the top-seeded South Carolina taking on No. 2 UConn. Both teams have been dominant throughout the tournament, with South Carolina looking to defend their title and win their third championship in four years, while UConn seeks to reclaim the top spot after a nine-year drought.
The game, scheduled for Sunday, will be a rematch of the 2022 championship game where South Carolina emerged victorious. However, when the teams met earlier in February, UConn dominated with a 27-point win that snapped South Carolina’s 71-game home winning streak.
UConn is led by the sensational Paige Bueckers, who has been on fire throughout the tournament, while South Carolina boasts the depth and defensive prowess that have carried them through tough matchups. The key factors to watch in the game will be the 3-point battle, individual performances from players like Joyce Edwards and Bueckers, and turnovers.
UConn enters the game as the favorite, boasting the best offensive rating in the country. While South Carolina will need a collective effort to counter the Huskies’ offensive firepower. The outcome of the game may come down to turnovers and which team can capitalize on them. Overall, UConn’s superior shooting and motivation to win their first national championship under Bueckers make them the likely victors in what is expected to be a highly competitive final.
