South Carolina Gamecocks: The defending national champions went 29-0 in the regular season and Dawn Staley's squad is ranked No. 1 in the AP Top 25. They won 24 of those games by double-digits and led the nation in average margin of victory (31.0 points). Zia Cooke averaged 15.5 points per game in her fourth season as a starter while fellow four-year starter Aliyah Boston averaged 13.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game.

Utah Utes: The Utes jumped five spots to No. 3 in the AP Top 25 after beating then-No. 3 Stanford in their final game of the regular season. They proceeded to get bounced by Washington State in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament despite being 9.5-point favorites. Utah is still expected to be one of the top contenders in the Big Dance, led by junior forward Alissa Pili's 20.3 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. Sophomore guard Gianna Kneepkens (15.4) and sophomore forward Jenna Johnson (11.7) are both double-digit scorers for head coach Lynne Roberts, who led the program to their first NCAA Tournament berth since 2011 last year and was named the Pac-12 Coach of the Year this season.

Stanford Cardinal: The Cardinal suffered just their fourth loss of the season when they fell to Utah last Saturday to close out the regular season, but they had won 10 of their previous 11 games. They took South Carolina to overtime in November, giving the Gamecocks one of their biggest scares of the campaign. Stanford's balanced lineup features a trio of double-digit scorers in Cameron Brink (14.5), Haley Jones (13.5) and Hannah Jump (11.6).
