The 2025 women's NCAA tournament has reached the Final Four stage with top seeds South Carolina and UCLA securing their spots. On Sunday, South Carolina defeated Duke while UCLA overcame LSU. Key contributions from role players boosted UCLA, overcoming challenges faced by star performers. Timea Gardiner and Gabriela Jaquez stepped up to help the Bruins succeed, highlighting the importance of team depth. With two more semifinal spots to fill on Monday, the excitement continues as TCU faces Texas and UConn takes on USC.
The No. 1 factor that helped UCLA reach the Final Four: The 6-foot-7 presence of Betts, whose stat line Sunday (17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 blocks) qualified -- remarkably -- as an off night.
UCLA beat third-seeded LSU thanks to contributions from role players like Timea Gardiner, who scored 15 points, and Gabriela Jaquez, who added 16 points.
