South Carolina is heading to a third-straight Final Four, with a chance at a second-straight national championship, and is feeling as inevitable as ever.
The top-ranked Gamecocks defeated No. 2 seed Maryland 86-75 in the Elite Eight on Monday, winning the Greenville 1 regional and setting up a clash with Iowa next weekend. Their undefeated streak now sits at 41 games.
The win was faithful to the South Carolina brand. Likely WNBA No. 1 overall pick Aaliyah Boston led the way with 22 points. The Gamecocks dominated the boards, out-rebounding the Terrapins 48-26 and hauling in 25 of their 38 misses. Their defense, facing a strong Maryland attack, held the opponent to 51% shooting on lay-ups.
For much of the first half, Maryland at least looked like it had a chance, clearing the paint on offense to prevent South Carolina's interior defenders from clogging the lane, but the Gamecocks were up by eight points by the end of halftime and grabbed a double-digit lead early in the third quarter.
