South Carolina’s march through madness and along the path of its title defense continues today at 2 p.m., when the No. 1 overall seed squares off in a postseason rematch with the fourth-seeded UCLA Bruins (27-9) in the Greenville 1 Regional.
Earlier this season in the non-conference portion of their schedule, the Gamecocks found themselves in a dogfight with the Bruins, emerging victorious in a 73-64 win that they had to work for. Post play saved the day for USC, with Kamilla Cardoso and Aliyah Boston teaming up in the second half to score 14 and 12 points, respectively, to make the difference for the Gamecocks, who trailed by four at halftime.
