USC's women's basketball team had a notable season. Despite roster limitations, including the absence of JuJu Watkins, the team reached the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament. In comparison, several Big Ten teams with more talent and higher expectations failed to advance beyond the same stage. The Big Ten had only three teams in the Sweet 16. Michigan, Minnesota, and Maryland were expected to perform well, but Maryland did not make the Sweet 16. Michigan State and Iowa also failed to crack the second weekend of the tournament.
