The 2026-27 women's college basketball season has opened with three prominent storylines centered on the University of Connecticut (UConn), the University of Southern California (USC), and the University of South Carolina, according to a report by Josh Felton for SB Nation on November 11, 2026.
Early action featured South Carolina's Agot Makeer attempting to drive past North Carolina's Kate Harpring, as captured in a Getty Images photograph. The three programs are expected to shape the narrative of the new campaign.
