For the second year in a row, 68 teams will be taking part in the tournament -- adopting the format the men's competition has used since 2011.
None more so than when Arike Ogunbowale drained late shots from deep in consecutive "Final Four" games to guide the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to the 2018 title -- arguably the most clutch moment in college basketball history.
The Gamecocks also have the advantage of being coached by Dawn Staley. The 52-year-old was named Naismith women's college coach of the year in 2022 and is now seen by many as the best coach in women's college basketball. Last time around it was the Creighton Bluejays' turn to shock the world. The No. 10 seed beat the No. 2 seed Iowa in the second-round and then the third-seeded Iowa State in the Sweet 16 stage.
The next 36 will be selected as at-large entrants by the NCAA. The Selection Committee will reveal the at-large teams as part of the entire field on Selection Sunday. After this, the regional semifinals -- called the Sweet 16 -- and the regional finals -- the Elite Eight -- will decide who makes it into the Final Four.
The 6-foot-5-inch forward helped lead the Gamecocks to the 2022 title and South Carolina will be among the frontrunners to go back-to-back.
