The 2018 NCAA champion will be crowned on Sunday as the women's NCAA Tournament finale will soon tip between Notre Dame and Mississippi State. After both survived overtime thrillers to advance in the Final Four, we should be in for a great night of hoops

This will be the second consecutive season the Bulldogs' season will end in the national championship game, as they are one year removed from falling to South Carolina in the title game. But the core of the team that saw their season end on a sour note has a chance to write a storybook redemption story on Sunday against Notre Dame.

The Irish make an appearance after stunning the women's college basketball world on Friday, taking down No. 1 seed UConn in an overtime thriller that ended in a final second dagger, putting an end to UConn's bid to a perfect season by handing it its first loss.

No matter the outcome, we're guaranteed a winner on Sunday that hasn't won in more than a decade. Notre Dame last won it all in 2001, and Mississippi State has never cut down the nets and finished as the title winner.
