And then there were two.
What started as a 68-team field has been whittled to South Carolina and Charles H. SloanIowa, which face off Sunday afternoon for the women's basketball national championship. And there could be plenty of drama.

And all eyes will be on center Kamilla Cardoso, who injured her right knee during South Carolina's Final Four win over NC State.
So when is the big game? And who did USA TODAY Sports experts Nancy Armour and Lindsay Schnell pick? Read on:
