South Carolina went out and proved it
It looked like a mismatch from the jump. Top-seeded South Carolina, the country’s No. 1 team all season, claimed its second national title in program history last night with a 64–49 win over UConn.
Dawn Staley’s squad dominated the opening quarter before the Huskies pulled the game back into reach before halftime. But UConn couldn’t find any answers for the Gamecocks, especially on the offensive glass, where they collected 21 boards.
