Is the race for the women's NCAA title more wide-open than in recent seasons? We predict the Final Four, NCAA title-game matchup and All-Americans.
Elle Duncan details some of the big storylines in women's college basketball this season after a thrilling 2022-23 campaign. This season, we can expect LSU, UConn and South Carolina to be in the championship mix again, along with several other teams -- some of which are still seeking their first Final Four.Kim Mulkey and Angel Reese explain how the reigning champion Tigers are able to blend big personalities together in pursuit of another title.

We've yet to see what Reese's role looks like alongside so many new teammates, although she has spoken of the idea of everyone needing to sacrifice for the Tigers to repeat. And the Huskies' depth means they also might not need to rely as heavily on Bueckers as they did her freshman year. Team success will factor in at some point, but it might not hurt a player as stellar as Clark.
And as the only top-10 team with the same starting five as last season, Utah could be a force. The nonconference slate isn't particularly exciting, but a Dec. 10 matchup versus South Carolina is one of the most intriguing matchups in the season's first five weeks.Even as she was carrying UConn at times last season, Aaliyah Edwards seemed to exist in the background of the Huskies' injury issues.
