South Carolina and Oregon State meet again in NCAA Tournament with trip to Final Four on the line
South Carolina is three wins away from completing the 10th undefeated season in women’s NCAA Tournament history
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — South Carolina was far from perfect in advancing to the Albany 1 Regional Final.
At this time of year, it's about winning and that's something Dawn Staley's team has done every game this season.
“At this point, it’s about just being able to play to the habits that you’ve created all season long, and when they go haywire, you’re just trying to, in real time, make adjustments. That’s what it’s about at this stage of the game,” Staley said. “So not a whole lot of screaming and yelling. Just kind of showing them what we need to do. I think they know. I think this moment will allow them to just rely on those habits.”
The Gamecocks (35-0), who nearly blew a 22-point lead before holding off Indiana in the Sweet 16, are three wins away from completing the 10th undefeated season in women's NCAA Tournament history. Next up on Sunday is Oregon State, which advanced this far for the first time since 2018.
