They won 24 of those games by double-digits and led the nation in average margin of victory (31.0 points). Zia Cooke averaged 15.5 points per game in her fourth season as a starter while fellow four-year starter Aliyah Boston averaged 13.3 points, 9.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game.
LSU Tigers: The No. 5 Tigers went 27-1 during the regular season, and their only loss came on the road against the undefeated No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks. LSU is led by Angel Reese, who is a national player of the year candidate after averaging 23.7 points, 16.0 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. Reese had a double-double in every game but one this season and is a big reason why LSU could get back to the Final Four for the first time since 2008.
Notre Dame Fighting Irish: The Fighting Irish went 24-4 during the 2022-23 women’s college basketball season and will enter the ACC Tournament as the No. 10 team in the nation. However, they closed out the year with six consecutive wins and also scored a huge non-conference win over UConn this season. Niele Ivey’s squad made a Sweet 16 appearance in her second season at the helm and now the Irish look like they could be poised for their first Final Four run since the legendary Muffet McGraw retired.
