2024 Women's Final Four Game Times and TV Broadcasts
Here's how you can watch the Women's Final Four on Friday night...
3-seed NC State vs 1-seed South Carolina
6:00 pm CT on ESPN and ESPN+. Also available for streaming through the ESPN app.
Point Spread: South Carolina -11.5
While NC State's men's team has been the darlings of the postseason, their women's team deserves plenty of shine too. The Wolfpack (31-6) upset 1-seed Texas in the Elite Eight to reach their first Final Four since 1998. Azahia James leads NC State with 16.7 points per game. The guard shoots 34% from deep. This is a team that wins with defense, holding opponents to 60 points per game and 36% shooting.
That defense will be greatly tested against South Carolina. The Gamecocks (36-0) are dominant, scoring 86 points per game (while surrendering just 56). Kamilla Cardoso averages 14 points and 9 rebounds per game. MiLaysia Fulwiley averages 12, and Te-Hina Paopao is a deadly three-point shooter. While so much of the attention will be on the second semifinal game, this is the best team in the country.
3-seed UConn vs 1-seed Iowa
8:00 pm CT on ESPN and ESPN+. Also available for streaming through the ESPN app.
Point Spread: Iowa -2.5
It's hard to get any better than this. It's the bluest of blue bloods in women's basketball vs last year's national runners-up, and it's the two best players in the sport facing off. UConn got off to a slow start to the season, being ravaged by injuries. But the Huskies have grinded to get right back to where you expect them to be.
Paige Bueckers has reminded everyone of how dominant she is with 22 points, five rebounds, and four assists per game. Aaliyah Edwards has averaged 18 and nine at forward. And this team plays shutdown defense.
And then there's the team, and more specifically player, that has the entire nation's attention. Caitlin Clark and Iowa put on a show every time they take the court. Clark has averaged an absurd 32 points per game to go along with nine assists and seven rebounds to lead a Hawkeye offense that puts up 92 a game. It's fireworks every game with Iowa, and this battle with UConn is must-watch.
