After a thrilling 2023-24 women’s college basketball season that saw the undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks win their second title in three years, the 2024-25 season is certainly going to need some marquee games in order to contend with last year’s viewership.
Fortunately, fans did not have to wait long for the NCAA to announce arguably the game, or should I say games, of the year.
The USC Trojans and UConn Huskies are both expected to be powerhouses in women’s college basketball next season, with each team contending for a national title while boasting some of the most talented players in the sport.
UConn, of course, brings Paige Bueckers to the table, a 6-foot guard that many considered the best player in college basketball last year, behind Caitlin Clark.
Meanwhile, USC will feature JuJu Watkins, who took the NCAA by storm in her freshman season.
The two of them will undoubtedly improve between last year and next, and the home-and-home series between the two schools could very well be a look ahead at the NCAA title game.
