Summary

If you’ve been paying attention to women’s college basketball this year, South Carolina is the favorite, by far, to win another national championship. But maybe the field still has something to say about that. There’s Iowa, led by arguably the face of March Madness in Caitlin Clark…UConn who might just be getting healthy at the right time…and you can’t forget about powerhouse LSU, led by Alexis Morris. So as the biggest teams in the country prepare to battle for a shot at cutting down the nets. As all the stars are aligning — and preparing to shine in the largest spotlight ever for the women’s college game — Andraya Carter joins the show to give us an inside look at the bracket, from a perspective that only a former player can provide.
