NCAA Women's Basketball Bracket 2016: Final Four Schedule, Live Stream Info

With the 2016 NCAA women's basketball tournament down to its Final Four, just two victories separate the Connecticut Huskies from becoming the first women's basketball team to win four national titles in a row.

No. 1 UConn has dominated the competition up to this point, including a historic 98-38 win over No. 5 Mississippi State in the Sweet 16 (in theory, the competition should be pretty tough at that point). No. 2 Oregon State will look to upset the Huskies in the semifinal, while No. 7 Washington and No. 4 Syracuse battle for the other spot in the national title game.

The Final Four doubleheader is set for Sunday at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Here's the schedule and viewing info for the event.

There Isn't Anything Quite Like This UConn Team

This Huskies team was the presumptive favorite for the national title long before the first tipoff of the first game of the March tournament. 

According to FiveThirtyEight, UConn has a 95 percent chance of beating Oregon State on Sunday and a 93 percent chance of winning the championship. As a point of comparison, the North Carolina Tar Heels are the only No. 1 seed left in the men's tournament, and they are given a 38 percent chance of cutting down the nets in Houston.

UConn's average margin of victory in four tournament games is a mind-bending 44.75 points per contest. Star senior Breanna Stewart is averaging 20.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 4.0 blocks per game, while forward Morgan Tuck is putting up 18.5 points per game.

"They're like piranha on a roast," Mississippi State head coach Vic Schaefer said of the UConn players after his side's devastating Sweet 16 loss, per the Hartford Courant's Jeff Jacobs. "When they go in transition, you can't get the bone out of the water fast enough."

The Huskies boast excellent stewardship in head coach Geno Auriemma, who is wrapping up his 31st season in Storrs, Connecticut, and already has 10 NCAA championships to his credit.

Oregon State isn't exactly a slouch of a No. 2 seed. The Beavers edged out No. 1 Baylor 60-57 in the Elite Eight to earn a trip to Indianapolis and have won 22 of their last 23 games.

With a rock-solid defense and talented players such as guards Sydney Wiese and Jamie Weisner, as well as center Ruth Hamblin, ESPN.com's Charlie Creme laid out a scenario in which Oregon State might triumph: 

"

Oregon State's ability to defend in the half court is exactly why the Beavers need to keep it that kind of game. The Huskies averaged 21.1 points per game more than Oregon State this season.

The Beavers can't play at the tempo UConn wants to and still win. The good news is Oregon State already knows it can play slowly and deliberately. That's exactly how the Beavers beat Baylor, a team that came into the regional finals averaging 78.2 points and left with only 57 on the scoreboard. The Lady Bears were bigger and deeper. Oregon State limited possessions and then maximized its quality. In this case the Beavers managed to do it one possession better than Baylor.

"

Maintaining any semblance of control over the pace against a UConn team that is loath to turn the ball over and can score at will is a tall order. Neither Washington nor Syracuse seem to stand much more of a chance against UConn than Oregon State, though the former has already proved to be up for monumental challenges in upsetting No. 2 Maryland, No. 3 Kentucky and No. 4 Stanford to reach this point.

The Chicago Tribune's editorial board has gone so far as to proclaim this Huskies team the best dynasty in sports: 

"

The right answers? The University of Connecticut, from 2000 to the present, and Geno Auriemma, the Huskies' coach for the past three decades. If they aren't recognized as such, it's only for one obvious reason: We're talking about a women's team. But by any fair measure, the Huskies are one of the premier dynasties ever — not only in women's sports, not only in college sports, but in sports, period.

"

UConn is almost certainly going to win a fourth consecutive national title and etch its name into the history books.

The Huskies have the size, skill, speed and tenacity to pull it off. As soon as they realize their opponents are in trouble—and that often doesn't take long—they seize on the weaknesses and don't relent until the final buzzer sounds. It's the combination of will, confidence and talent that will see UConn reign supreme yet again.
