The women’s Final Four began April 4 at 7 p.m. EST, with the reigning champion No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks taking on the No. 1 Texas Longhorns, followed by the No. 1 UCLA Bruins against No. 2 UConn Huskies. The championship game will take place on Sunday, April 6 at 3 p.m. EST.
The men’s Final Four will took place April 5.

The winners of these two games will meet up at 8:50 p.m. on Monday, April 7 in the National Championship game.
