GREENVILLE, S.C. — Kamilla Cardoso doesn't know how to answer the question, so from her spot on the exercise bike in the bustling South Carolina locker room she crowdsources it.
It’s the old women’s sports adage: If you can see it, you can be it. And these higher seeds have seen plenty this March alone, even when it doesn’t pan out by the end. Underdogs have given the favorites tight contests every night, some of which are followed by the lower seeds breathing a sigh of relief.
South Carolina did it with ease on Saturday afternoon, locking down UCLA to 15 points in the first half. The Bruins led in their November meeting until late in the game, and this contest was circled as one to test South Carolina’s mettle. “If you allow them to play the way that they want to play and never use it against them, you’re going to create a long night, and that’s exactly what we did,” Close said.
