Trips to the Final Four are on the line as the women's Elite Eight kicks off Monday night in San Antonio.
The first of two matchups is a showdown between perennial powers as Baylor, the defending NCAA Tournament champion from 2019, squares off with No. 1 Connecticut. The Huskies have advanced to the Final Four in 12 consecutive tournaments, last falling short of the Final Four in 2007.
The second game is a matchup of Elite Eight newcomers, as No. 4 Indiana and No. 3 Arizona are in the regional finals for the first time. The Hoosiers are fresh off an upset of No. 1 North Carolina State – to this point the only No. 1 seed knocked out of the tournament.
