March Madness Power Rankings: Reranking the women's Final Four teams

The Women's Final Four tips off Friday night in Tampa at Amalie Arena, and college basketball's top seeds have held up strong in this bracket, just like the men's. Three of the remaining teams are No. 1 seeds, and the lone exception is second-seeded Connecticut, hardly a long shot.

These teams know each other well from head-to-head meetings – South Carolina and Texas will meet for the fourth time this season.

Here's a look at how the four squads competing for the right to hoist a championship trophy stack up heading into the Final Four.

No. 1 UCLA Bruins
AP: 1
NET: 4
Record: 34-2
Record vs. Final Four teams: 1-0 (Beat South Carolina)

How they got here: The Bruins had the easiest path to the Final Four, needing to beat fifth-seeded Ole Miss and third-seeded LSU. They won their four games by a combined 76 points, the lowest winning margin of the four remaining teams.

Star power: Junior center Lauren Betts is 6-foot-7 and can dominate inside — she nearly averaged a double-double at 20.0 points and 9.6 points per game and was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year with three blocks a game. She's a big part of why the Bruins ranked second in the nation in rebounding margin this season.

Final Four history: This is the first Final Four in UCLA women's basketball history. The Bruins made the Elite Eight in 1999 and 2018, but that was the farthest they'd made it in the tournament. They've made the Sweet 16 three years in a row now, so the team has postseason experience, just not this far along.
