The Madness isn’t over just yet: No. 1 seeds Florida and Houston will battle for the men’s championship tonight at 8:50 p.m. ET on CBS in the U.S. and TSN in Canada. One (last) shining moment, loading.

While viewership of this year’s NCAA women’s March Madness did dip in the post–Caitlin Clark era, women’s basketball fandom is certainly here to stay. The tournament wrapped with a dominant UConn win over South Carolina and so much more: A sold-out crowd, historic audiences, and promising growth.

Sixty-eight teams and nearly three weeks of women’s hoops Madness later, it all comes down to today’s 3 p.m. ET matchup between the sport’s two modern-day dynasties: the reigning champ No. 1 seed South Carolina Gamecocks and the No. 2 UConn Huskies. Let the countdown begin.

The sun is shining, women’s March Madness viewership numbers are skyrocketing, and the women’s Final Four is the hottest ticket in Tampa. Just another day in women’s sports.

One of the chalkiest Final Fours in men’s hoops history hits the court tomorrow, and boy, are we in for a treat. While the lack of Cinderellas in this year’s tourney means less Madness, we have a chance to see the country’s most talented players and (in theory) best squads duke it out for a trip to Monday’s title game. Preemptive chills.

There’s a mid-week lull in the on-court action ahead of this weekend’s Final Four, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any hoops news to catch up on. Consider this a chance to catch your breath and prepare for one last weekend of Madness.

We’re smack dab in the middle of the women’s Elite Eight, meaning two Final Four tickets have already been punched and the other two are up for grabs tonight. All hoops, all the time.

All four top teams survived and thrived in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight this weekend, booking their tickets to the talent-packed main event, which tips off Saturday. Here’s how the chalkiest Final Four in recent memory came together.

March Madness isn’t just a basketball tournament — it’s a cultural event. And while the buzzer-beaters and upsets define the Madness, oftentimes the characters and moments behind-the-scenes live rent-free in our brains for years to come.

Half of the women’s Final Four will be locked in by the next time we talk, but first we have to whittle these Sweet 16 squads down to an elite group of eight. Every one of this weekend’s games packs a serious punch, but No. 2 vs. No. 3 seed matchups are always extra spicy. Pour a glass of milk, the Madness awaits.

Yesterday, the WNBA and its Changemaker Collective — a group of community-focused brands — extended a key partnership with women-focused digital platform Voice in Sport (VIS). By collaborating with VIS, the W and its partners are able to reach a passionate Gen Z and Gen Alpha fanbase that’s looking to stay involved in basketball, both as players and fans.

After a long two days without March Madness action, the first half of the men’s Sweet 16 came in like a wrecking ball last night, with stunning individual performances and all-around SEC dominance.
