The NCAA has reached the final game of the 2020-21 Division I women's basketball season, and the last two teams standing know each other very well.
The national championship game will be an all-Pac-12 matchup between Stanford and Arizona. The Cardinal swept the Wildcats during the regular season but Arizona is riding high after an upset victory over UConn in the Final Four. This is the first time two teams from the Pac-10/Pac-12 will square off in the championship game.
Stanford, the top seed in Alamo Region, survived Hemisfair No. 1 seed South Carolina 66-65 in the Final Four on April 2. The Gamecocks missed two buzzer-beater attempts from short range at the end of the game. The Cardinal are seeking their third national title but their first since 1992. They last made the title game in 2010, losing to UConn. The program has reached the Final Four 14 times in its history.
