The women's Final Four gets underway this weekend, with semifinal games featuring four No. 1 seeds and the possibility that one team will continue to overcome a repeat champ to win its first NCAA title.
South Carolina and Notre Dame take the court first on Sunday, facing off at 6:30 p.m. Eastern in Tampa. Later, at 9 p.m., UConn and Maryland go head to head.
The Terrapins advanced to their second straight Final Four and hope to repeat their run in 2006 for a national championship. However, a powerful and undefeated Connecticut stands in their way for the title.
Coach Brenda Frese has a balanced squad that can play a full court or half court game as the situation dictates. While the challenge will be steep, Maryland has a squad that could ... COULD ... catch the right breaks and beat UConn.
But the numbers aren't in their favor.
Here's a look at the teams vying for a spot in the championship game:
