The first match-up in the final four is #2 Connecticut going up against #1 Maryland Terrapins. The Terrapins are about to face their toughest challenge ever.

The UCONN Huskies are ready to give it their all,  winning 33 games and losing only 1 blowing out every team they have faced this season. The Terrapins however barely made it into the final four,  only beating Tennessee by 10 points, a shallow but advancing win. The UCONN Huskies made their mark when they went against Dayton and beat them by 19.

   The second match-up is the #1 seed South Carolina Gamecocks going up against the lady Irish from Notre Dame. Both South Carolina and Notre Dame have the exact same record of 33-2. South Carolina faced UCONN in the regular season but could not stop the wrath of the Huskies and lost by 25. South Carolina is looking for a rematch in the championship against Connecticut, but they have to hold off the fighting Irish first.

   This season is coming to a fast end; the Huskies are looking to take it all, but the fighting  Irish are willing to get back to the championship after losing three years in a row. March is over but the madness continues in April.
