From the best backcourt tandems to the top inside-out combinations, top duos from UConn, Iowa, LSU and more lead their teams into the NCAA tournament.
Star power has defined the 2023-24 women's college basketball season, and much of that focus has been on household names: Caitlin, JuJu, Paige, Angel.
But let's give it up for the duos that have helped shape the past five months of competition and will make their marks on the women's NCAA tournament. ESPN considered many variations for this list of the top 10 duos playing in the Big Dance: guard-post tandems, backcourt brethren, post pairings -- so many different ways teammates can make an impact in their own respective roles, but also when they work together.How will that synergy pan out for the rest of March? The first round opens Friday. Before then, Charlie Creme, Alexa Philippou and Michael Voepel break down the best duos in the NCAA tournament field.
Something to note: Both have experience with deep March runs, as they were part of UConn's Final Four team in 2021 and national title game appearance in 2022. The Huskies are the 3-seed in Portland 3. --Perhaps it's easy to say anyone paired with Clark would make a good duo, but that ignores just how important Stuelke is to the Hawkeyes. Clark's assist numbers wouldn't be what they are without the 6-foot-2 sophomore at the finishing end of so many of them.
There are many outstanding first-year players this season. But no freshman duo has had a bigger impact on a team than Crooks and Brown, who lead the Cyclones in scoring and rebounding. Crooks is an Iowa native, while Brown is from Kansas. They quickly jelled for an Iowa State team that needed a lot from them, leading the Cyclones to a fourth-place finish in the Big 12 and the league tournament championship game.
