Can South Carolina run it back — and nine more questions for women’s college basketball

The 2023-24 women’s college basketball season ended with the South Carolina Gamecocks winning the NCAA championship, going 38-0. As the 2024-25 season approaches, the biggest questions include if the Gamecocks can repeat their success, who will step up in the absence of Caitlin Clark, and how realignment will impact the sport. Other key storylines include UConn’s quest for their 12th championship, the potential Final Four runs of USC and UCLA, and the impact of freshmen and transfers on the season. Additionally, the return of players from injuries and coaching changes at programs like Stanford, Iowa, Kentucky, and Tennessee are also major talking points heading into the new season.
