Yukon Women's Basketball is making history again, hitting their 25th Final Four appearance as the undefeated defending champs. Friday at 7pm in Phoenix, they faced South Carolina in a semi-final rematch of last year's title game, where the Huskies dominated 82. 59. Winners advanced to Sunday's championship, with UCLA and Michigan battling in the other semis. This run is straight dominance, 18 of the last 19 Final Fours, only one miss since 2007. No one's close. Tennessee's got 18 total. It's their 9th time entering undefeated on a 54 game win streak, chasing a 13th national crown. Analysts like Rebecca Lobo call it ridiculous, something that'll never happen again, yet it gets overlooked. Players feel the weight too nerves mixed with hype, but confidence from a full seasons grind takes over once the ball tips.
