Who is in the Final Four? Teams, odds for 2024 women's March Madness semifinals, championship

The 2023-24 women's college basketball season, despite all its maddening one shining moments from the start of the year through the NCAA Tournament's Elite Eight, has led us to its inevitable conclusion:

South Carolina. Iowa. UConn. NC State. Those are your Final Four teams for March Madness in 2024.

The favorite to win it all in 2024 remains Dawn Staley's 36-0 Gamecocks, the No. 1 overall seed in the women's tournament. That group, led by Te-Hina Paopao, Kamilla Cardoso and more, is looking to become the first undefeated team in women's college basketball since Geno Auriemma's UConn Huskies last achieved the feat in 2015-16.

Close behind them is fellow 1 seed Iowa, led by star Caitlin Clark, who not only has myriad season and career records for her scoring prowess (including several in Monday's game), but also helped the Hawkeyes vanquish LSU in the Elite Eight. With Iowa's 94-87 victory over Kim Mulkey, Angel Reese and Co., Iowa is back to its second final Four in as many seasons, and third ever.

Then there's UConn, which, despite being a 3 seed, is led by arguably the best player in the country in Paige Bueckers. Geno Auriemma's claim that his player is the best in women's college basketball will be put to the test when they face off vs. Iowa in Friday's semifinal matchup.

Last up: a Wes Moore-coached NC State team that, alongside its men's program, has made history in reaching the Final Four. The Wolfpack had to get through the top two seeds of its region to reach this stage.

So, who will win from among the Gamecocks, Hawkeyes, Huskies and Wolfpack? Only one way to find out. Here's everything you need to know about the Final Four, including game-specific betting odds, national championship odds and updated times and TV schedules for the last three games of the season:

Who is in the women's Final Four?

Unsurprisingly, the 2024 women's Final Four features some of the top teams from throughout the 2023-24 college basketball season.

South Carolina and Iowa headline that group, with a potential 2023 Final Four rematch in the works should the Gamecocks get past the Wolfpack and Huskies, respectively. They have been considered among the top teams in the country all season, if not the top two teams.

Their opponents are no slouches, either: Geno Auriemma's Huskies, led by Paige Bueckers, stand to give Iowa a tough test in the Final Four. And Wes Moore's NC State team has made its way here with multiple-possession victories over each of its opponents, including 6 seed Tennessee, 2 seed Stanford and 1 seed Texas.
