        How Each Team In The Women's Final Four Can Win It All

        South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley believes her team's offense has been unfairly maligned. "I think a lot of people have questioned our offense throughout the tournament, and it just seems to be our team's offense that's been targeted about what our offense is doing, and no other team has been targeted in the way that our team has," Staley said Tuesday during a media teleconference. "We're playing good basketball. Whether our shooting percentage is in the 30s or in the 50s, I don't think we're taking bad shots. So if we're taking bad shots, then we have issues. We're just taking good shots that aren't going in."  Staley's Gamecocks certainly fixed that in their regional final on Sunday against Creighton. After three straight tournament games shooting 35.4 percent or lower, and at least 14 turnovers in each contest, South Carolina shot 50.9 percent against the Bluejays and turned it over just seven times.  The focus on offense is less a result of a true deficiency in South Carolina -- after all, the Gamecocks did finish 23rd inoffensive efficiency nationwide -- and more because it's the only real potential vulnerability to be found in the team with the second-best defensive efficiency and top rebounding rate in the country. No one has figured out a way to slow down Aliyah Boston, who posted a 28-and-22 game...

              Should We Expect More Madness In The Women's Sweet 16?

              Well, that was unexpected. Perennial powers Iowa, Oregon and Baylor lost. Other mainstays, like Tennessee and Indiana, were pushed to the brink. It's made for the Maddest March ever in women's basketball history, with just three of the eight Sweet 16 matchups featuring the chalk of 1-4 or 3-2 seeds expected to match up in this round. There's ample reason to believe that all 16 of the remaining teams belong, and we should expect the unexpected again this weekend. Let's break down what to watch for in each of these games. In the 7 p.m. ET Friday window, Greensboro's No. 1 seed South Carolina and No. 5 seed North Carolina have made it easy for their fans to travel to the pivotal battle. While the Gamecocks took care of business in the opening weekend, they didn't exactly dominate in their second-round win over Miami. South Carolina coach Dawn Staley foreshadowed their difficulties after their 79-21 blowout of Howard in the tournament opener, saying: "I know we can't have another game shooting-wise like we did and expect us to win basketball games, so we got to find a way to get the ball to go in the hole for us." Anyone who doubted her prescience -- or thought perhaps it was coachspeak after winning, after all, by 58 -- saw the Gamecocks follow with an ugly 49-33 win over...

                          Aliyah Boston Has A Title In Her Sights

                          Aliyah Boston's guiding force has always been her faith. It's a faith her parents instilled in her as a young girl growing up in Saint Thomas, in the U.S. Virgin Islands. It's a faith that guided her as she moved to live with her aunt in Massachusetts, honed her basketball skills and landed at South Carolina, eventually becoming an integral part of the Gamecocks' success over the past three years. It's a faith she relied on a year ago when the Gamecocks lost by a single point in the Final Four, falling just short in their quest for a second national championship. And it's the same faith that's been tested and strengthened over the past year and has brought her to this point: the front-runner for Naismith College National Player of the Year, one of four finalists for the 2022 defensive player of the year -- her second time in as many seasons as a finalist -- and, most importantly, on the cusp of finally bringing home that coveted national title.  "I have definitely grown in my faith since last year," Boston told me. "When COVID first started, I didn't know what was happening in life and I was feeling overwhelmed a lot, but leaning on my faith has helped me.  "My family, we do a family Bible study almost every night, and I feel like...

                            The Favorites, Sleepers And Potential Busts In The 2022 Women's NCAA Tournament

                            Christmas came early for women's college basketball this year as the NCAA Tournament bracket was announced on Selection Sunday rather than the traditional Selection Monday. The move to put the men's and women's bracket reveals on the same day was part of a broader push for gender equity that included expanding the field to 68 teams. At least some head coaches liked the change for pragmatic reasons. After learning that her Tennessee team would host the first two rounds as a No. 4 seed, Kellie Harper told reporters, "As a coach, I want to know. I mean, we want to know where we're going and where we're playing and who we're playing and when we're playing. We want to know all that so we can prepare a schedule. ... I feel like now we can get to work." The change also spared teams on the bubble, such as No. 11 seeds DePaul and Dayton, who traded a sleepless night waiting to learn their tournament fate for a sleepless night scouting their first-round opponent. (The Blue Demons and Flyers will play each other in a First Four game on Wednesday, with our model giving DePaul a 51 percent chance to win.) In contrast, Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder, whose team will host games as a No. 2 seed, woke up "almost at ease" Sunday morning -- but the selection show...

                                      Aliyah Boston And Caitlin Clark Are Both Redefining Basketball Greatness

                                      The level of passion toward the two front-runners of the women's college basketball player of the year award -- South Carolina's Aliyah Boston and Iowa's Caitlin Clark -- is understandable.  They haven't simply had great seasons, though both Boston and Clark certainly posted numbers that stand up against any in the game: Boston is the runaway leader in total win shares with 14, and Clark is the leader in offensive win shares with 9.9. In both cases, they have redefined the ceiling for the storied programs they play for, amazing even their longtime coaches -- Dawn Staley for Boston in South Carolina and Lisa Bluder for Clark in Iowa. "As people all recognize, Caitlin is a leading scorer in the country," Bluder said to me last month after an Iowa victory over Rutgers. "Well, yeah, but she leads the country in assists, too. And not only that, she's our No. 1 rebounder. And she's one of our best free throw-shooters as well. So she impacts the game in so many different ways that people sometimes just get fixated on that scoring. It's other things as well." To put her in some Iowa-specific context: Kathleen Doyle is one of the greatest point guards in Hawkeye history, a WNBA player who just signed with the Chicago Sky. Her senior-season assist percentage was 36.1.  Clark has topped...
