And The Athletic from a while back:
Who are your Final Four teams?
Pickman: UCLA, South Carolina, Texas, UConn
Merchant: UCLA, South Carolina, Notre Dame, UConn
Jennings: UCLA, South Carolina, Notre Dame, UConn

Who is your national champion?
Pickman: UConn
Merchant: UConn
Jennings: UCLA
 
Can UCLA defend the perimeter as well as USC did? If not, then Charlie and Alexa probably have it right. After watching the SC and Texas games, I thought SC didn’t have a chance. Perhaps my confidence in that thought is waning.
