A Champion Will Be Crowned Tonight
Two electrifying Semifinals matchups await as Napheesa Collier takes on Azurá Stevens, and Arike Ogunbowale faces Aaliyah Edwards. Then, it will all come down to a best-of-three Finals where a winner will be Crowned The One.

It All Comes Down to This…
The stage is set for an electrifying Friday night as the Unrivaled 1 on 1 Tournament presented by Sprite reaches its semifinal round. With a $350,000 prize pool on the line, these matchups promise high-stakes basketball at its finest.
Here’s everything you need to know:
Semifinal 1: No. 1 Napheesa Collier vs. No. 6 Azurá Stevens | 7:30 PM ET on TNT, truTV, and Max
🐺 A UConn reunion takes center stage
The tournament's most dominant force meets its most efficient defender. Phee, who has played in every round to reach this point, brings a methodical offensive arsenal that's yet to connect from three-point range (0/6) but owns the paint with a 45.5% clip.
Her path includes convincing wins over:
Katie Lou Samuelson (12-6)
Rickea Jackson (12-5)
Courtney Williams (12-4).
Meanwhile, Stevens has been a defensive fortress, not allowing a single three-pointer in tournament play.
After a first-round bye, she's made quick work of her opponents, starting with a 7-0 run against Shakira Austin en route to an 11-4 win, followed by a dominant 12-2 quarterfinal performance over Rae Burrell.
Semifinal 2: No. 1 Arike Ogunbowale vs. No. 8 Aaliyah Edwards | Following Game 1 on TNT, truTV, and Max
🔜 The scoring champion meets the Cinderella story
Ogunbowale, known for her clutch tournament performances dating back to her Notre Dame days, enters after hard-fought 12-8 victories over both Skylar Diggins-Smith and former teammate Satou Sabally. Her offensive style has led to perfect free-throw shooting (4/4) and strong rebounding (8.0 rpg) in tournament play.
The story of the tournament might be Edwards, who shocked the bracket with a 12-0 shutout of No. 1 seed Breanna Stewart in the opening round.
The lowest remaining seed has proven it's no fluke, following up with a quarterfinal victory over Allisha Gray where she closed the game on a personal 6-0 run.
Edwards enters Friday tied with Stevens for allowing the fewest points in tournament play.
