March Madness never fails to disappoint. The action in the spring brings out the best of college basketball, and it's no different in 2024. 

The women's NCAA Tournament is chock full of star power this championship season. There is Dawn Staley's undefeated South Carolina team, the dynamic UConn duo of Paige Bueckers and Aaliyah Edwards, Stanford standout Cameron Brink — and, of course, all-time NCAA scoring leader Caitlin Clark. 

Chaos is happening in two different regions in the United States before the tournament culminates in Cleveland. Fans can catch all of the action either through broadcasts on TV or viral clips on social media.
