The stakes couldn't be higher as No. 2 UConn (34-3) and No. 1 USC (31-3) clash on Monday at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena, each vying for a coveted spot in the Final Four.
This Elite Eight showdown is brimming with tension, especially after USC edged UConn 72-70 in their regular-season thriller, thanks to JuJu Watkins’ 25-point masterclass.
However, with Watkins sidelined due to an ACL tear, the Trojans now face an uphill battle against a red-hot Huskies squad led by Paige Bueckers, who is in unstoppable form after dropping 40 points in the Sweet 16. With UConn surging and USC looking to overcome adversity, this matchup promises high drama.

UConn Huskies team news & key performers
Huskies' superstar Paige Bueckers has been nothing short of sensational, pouring in 74 points over her last two tournament games. She took over in the second half of the Sweet 16, proving once again why she’s the best player in the nation. USC will have its hands full trying to contain her and slow down UConn’s explosive offense.
USC Trojans news & key performers
With Watkins out, the burden falls on Kiki Iriafen, a projected top pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, to step up offensively. She managed just seven points against Kansas State, and USC needed a big second-half rally to escape with a win. If she can’t produce at a high level, the Trojans will struggle to keep pace with UConn.
