2023 NCAA women’s basketball tournament: Results, schedule, games, times, TV

The NCAA Div. I women’s basketball tournament tips off as teams hit the court with dreams of winning the 2023 national championship. Or, in the case of South Carolina, winning a second consecutive title.

The Gamecocks, the No. 1 overall seed, are bidding to become the first team to win back-to-back championships since Connecticut won four in a row from 2013-16. South Carolina, under coach Dawn Staley, won its first championship in 2017. 

The Stanford Cardinal, also a No. 1 seed, seek to win their second title in three years and fourth overall. The Indiana Hoosiers and Virginia Tech Hokies, which earned their first No. 1 seeds, will try to cut down the nets for the first time at the national championship in Dallas.
