Previous NCAA Women's Tournament champions

Only three schools have won back-to-back championships; South Carolina is heavily favored to become the fourth. It would join UConn, which won consecutively from 2002-04; Tennessee, which won three in a row from 1996-98; and Southern Cal, which won in 1983 and 1984.

There also have been just nine undefeated women's basketball national champions. UConn was home to six of them, including Breanna Stewart's 2013-14 and 2015-16 squads; Tina Charles and Maya Moore's 2008-09 and 2009-10 squads; Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi's 2001-02 squad; and Rebecca Lobo's 1994-95 squad.

Brittney Griner's 2011-12 Baylor squad, Tamika Catchings and Chamique Holdsclaw's 1997-98 Tennessee squad and the Texas 1985-86 squad are also part of the group.

South Carolina can become the 10th should it make it through the madness untouched. The reigning national champions enter the tournament at 32-0 after winning the SEC regular-season and conference tournament titles.

Below is a list of every NCAA women's tournament champion since the inaugural competition in 1982.
