South Carolina seeks consecutive NCAA women's titles

South Carolina's women's basketball team has a chance to make history this season. The Gamecocks, who finished the 2024-25 season with a strong 30-3 record and won the SEC tournament, are the top seed in the NCAA women's tournament. If South Carolina wins the national championship again, they will be only the fourth team to achieve back-to-back titles since the tournament started in 1982. This is a significant achievement in women's college basketball. Several teams have previously won consecutive championships. UConn is the most notable, having captured titles in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. They achieved the remarkable feat of winning four in a row, a record that still stands today. Additionally, UConn won consecutively in 2009 and 2010, finishing both seasons undefeated. Tennessee also saw success, winning back-to-back titles in 2007 and 2008 under the legendary coach Pat Summitt. Other past champions include UConn in 2002, 2003, and 2004, and Tennessee in 1996, 1997, and 1998. USC also won consecutive titles in 1983 and 1984, becoming the first team to repeat in the new tournament format. With the tournament approaching, all eyes are on South Carolina to see if they can join this elite group of champions.
