AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR.
The pinnacle awaits.

It's everywhere here in Denver. On the Pepsi Center. Downtown. On the media guide cover and in-game graphics.

"The Four" as it were will meet up today beginning with the battle of the Big East as Notre Dame and Connecticut tip off for the fourth time this season. Can Kelly Faris show up and show up big? Will Skylar Diggins get the Irish back to the championship game for the second year in a row?

The nightcap here in Denver features No. 1 and No. 2 in all the polls as the Baylor Lady Bears continue to keep their undefeated record intact on the quest for a 40-win season. Can Brittney Griner and Odyssey Sims be neutralized? Can the Ogwumike tandem continue the Cardinal's season?

Who gets to the elusive pinnacle of the 2012 NCAA women's basketball season?
