The Final Four gave us one blowout and one nail-biter. When the dust settled, South Carolina and Iowa were the only two teams left standing and we now have our title match set.
Before we prepare for the championship, let’s look back at some of the best moments from the Final Four:
South Carolina continues to soar
NC State went toe-to-toe with South Carolina during the first half. It was anybody’s game. With just a one-point lead heading into the second half, it looked like a close classic was upon us; however, South Carolina didn’t just close the door—they slammed it shut and shook the wall! The Gamecocks were victorious, 78-59.
We discussed containing Kamilla Cardoso in our NC State Final Four preview, and while the Wolfpack managed that well in the beginning, Cardoso eventually dominated, despite missing time with a right leg injury late in the first half and returning in the second half wearing a protective compression sleeve. In the third quarter, the Gamecocks outscored the Wolfpack 29-6, and a close game became another example South Carolina’s dominance. Cardoso ended with a game-high 22 points and 11 rebounds.
South Carolina is now 37-0 and will be the clear favorite on Sunday to win it all.
