It was a battle between two women’s basketball dynasties – one old, one new – and the Gamecocks prevailed.
For the second time this season — although you could argue this one had much more meaning — South Carolina (35-2) defeated Connecticut (30-6), this time by the score of 64-49.
Through the first quarter, it appeared that USC’s size would be too much for the Huskies. The Gamecocks opened the game on a 13-2 run with nine of those points being second chance points.
UConn also managed to put up only eight points in the first quarter, which was its lowest scoring first quarter of the year.
