NCAA Tourney games

I believe this is the second time that the same four teams made the Final Four two years in a row, the first being 1995-96. Kind of fun fact: Both times included UConn; a former Pac-12 team (Stanford then/UCLA now); and two SEC teams (Georgia and Tennessee then/South Carolina and Texas now).

In 1996 they the rematch of 1995's championship in the semis which is the same scenario this year.

Okay, same 4 teams in the Final 4 two years in a row. That ain't cool. Cannot happen again next year. Need at least 2 of them to step down. UCLA already volunteered by graduating their entire team. Need at least one of the other 3 to not make it to the FF next season.

Good luck with that dream lol.

-UCONN is still UCONN
-South Carolina has made it 6x in a row now and is showing no signs of slowing down
-Texas is also stacked next year with Madison Booker back as a senior.

I see Duke, Michigan, Vandy and USC fighting it out for the last spot. Maybe LSU if Kim can get a quality big.

The previous year’s champion UConn Huskies lost to the previous year’s SEC champ, who then went on to avenge an earlier loss to their conference arch-rival in the title game. Weird.

You can pretty much pencil in UConn and South Carolina in any year. Texas/Vic aren't quite perennials though. Maybe Harmon is the real key to the team, regardless of how talented Booker is?

Harmon’s brilliant but they almost got to the Final Four led by Madison Booker as a freshman when Rori tore her ACL. Next year they’ll have a bunch of shooters on the wings too and solid post play. I think they’re very likely to get there, but agree they’re not on UCONN/South Carolina levels of dominance yet.
