It’s the women’s college basketball Super Bowl. No. 1 South Carolina vs. No. 3 LSU, the two final unbeaten schools in all of DI basketball.
South Carolina (24-0, 11-0 SEC) battles LSU (23-0, 11-0 SEC) with the conference regular season title potentially on the line.
The Gamecocks have been here before. The reigning champions know how to grind out a difficult, at times, ugly win. So far this season, South Carolina has beaten No. 6 Stanford (76-71 OT) and No. 5 UConn (81-77). Both were scrappy wins where the Gamecocks stormed back from a double-digit deficit.

Aliyah Boston, despite not leading her team in scoring this season, did in those games. Boston faces double and even triple teams when she touches the ball, but she finds that makes opponents feel her presence. Boston averages 13.3 points and 10 rebounds on the season.
LSU, however, is untested. The Tigers brought in a whole group of new players this season, and haven’t faced an opponent currently ranked in the top-25. In their last two outings, the Tigers escaped Georgia (82-77 OT) and Texas A&M (72-66). But what LSU lacks in experience, they make up for in bravado.
