Gamecocks set to take on Creighton in Elite Eight

The top-seeded South Carolina Gamecocks will look to continue their run in the NCAA Tournament tonight, facing off against No. 10 Creighton with a trip to the Final Four on the line.

The Bluejays are a Cinderella of the tournament, having taken down two top-10 teams in back-to-back games. Creighton first dispatched Iowa, sending the vaunted Caitlin Clark home early, and on Friday eliminated three-seed Iowa State. The Bluejays are just the fourth double-digit seed to reach the Elite Eight, and the first since 2011.

Creighton used hot outside shooting — 44 percent from 3-point range — to handle the Cyclones, so the Gamecock defense will need to lock down the perimeter.
