State will win: Bulldogs coach Vic Schaefer insists him team has had a \u201cbull&#8217;s-eye\u201d on their backs since ending UConn\u2019s 111-game win streak in the 2017 Final Four, but they dropped only one game in what has been Schaefer\u2019s best season yet. Each player in the starting lineup shoots over 40% from the field, with Teaira McCowan hitting 61%. They held opponents to 56.1 points per game \u2013 winning games by an average of 25.9 points. Schaefer believes he faces a Louisville team that\u2019s similar to his \u2013 but with the Bulldogs\u2019 added Final Four experience and McCowan\u2019s ability to dominate the glass on offense and defense \u2013 the Bulldogs could be dancing all the way to another championship game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Why Louisville will win: Two words: Asia Durr. The ACC Player of the Year averages 18.7 points per game on 46% shooting from the floor and 41.8% from beyond the arc but has gone off for 47 points (against Ohio State), 38 points (Georgia Tech) and 36 points (Notre Dame). The Cardinals, who beat Notre Dame for the ACC tournament championship, outscored opponents by 20.5 points per game this season and force teams to pay dearly for mistakes \u2013 they scored more than 25% of their points off of turnovers this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">No. 1 UConn vs. No. 1 Notre Dame<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">9 p.m., ET, ESPN2<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Why UConn will win: UConn coach Geno Auriemma thinks this is the toughest Final Four he\u2019s seen in recent years and noted that maintaining his level of success gets harder every year \u2013 but they\u2019re still the favorite. UConn hasn\u2019t dropped a game since losing to Mississippi State in the 2017 Final Four, outscoring opponents by an average of 37.1 points. In their only meeting this year, the Huskies overcame an 11-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Fighting Irish 80-71. The Huskies are on a mission to avenge last season\u2019s early exit and with a team shooting average of 53.4% and with five starters who have averaged double figures \u2013 often seem to be able to score at will.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\">Why Notre Dame will win: Muffet McGraw did a masterful job in coaching this season, weaving together a Final Four squad out of a shortened rotation after having four players sidelined with torn ACLs. The Fighting Irish also shoot over 50% from the floor as a team and have a balanced offense with four starters averaging more than 14 points per game. But this game will likely come down to defense, and Notre Dame\u2019s has looked strong: It held two-seed Oregon to just 8 of 31 shooting in the Elite Eight \u2013 and Sabrina Ionescu to just seven points in the second half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt;color: #000000\"><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/ncaaw\/finalfour\/2018\/03\/29\/ncaa-womens-basketball-tournament-final-four-how-watch\/471505002\/<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/sports\/march-madness-watch-ncaa-womens-division-basketball-tournament-final-four.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March Madness: How to watch the NCAA Women&#8217;s Division I Basketball Tournament Final Four It&#8217;s all chalk in the women&#8217;s Final Four.
