March Madness is almost over, and championship weekend starts today! The women’s Final Four kicks off the end of March Madness with LSU vs. Virginia Tech and South Carolina vs. Iowa tonight.

Ticket prices for the women’s championship weekend have surpassed the prices for the men’s. Someone is trying to sell their lower-level ticket for almost $4,000, and it’s not even a courtside seat.

Tonight's games will feature some of the biggest names in women's college basketball:

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark
South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston
LSU’s Angel Reese

Who will advance and come out on top?

Also on our minds: Why teens are ditching their smartphones, the new 61 Area Seventies called by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Utah counties that grew the most in 2022.
