Bruins will attack the tournament’s No. 1 overall seed with a variety of weapons.
The Bruins are 12-6 in road games this season and Saturday’s game could bring an intense crowd. The Gamecocks had an attendance of over 10,000 people in Columbia, South Carolina for their second-round game against South Florida.
“We have a good mix of healthy naivety from the freshmen,” coach Cori Close said. “I think sometimes that serves them well. They don’t know that they’re not supposed to win. But then there’s also maturity of like, Charisma , where they know what it takes. In those moments, we are going to look to Charisma to be our steadying force.”
Kiki Rice leads the freshmen and has started in 35 games this season. She’s the second-leading scoring player on the team with 11.9 points per game. Londynn Jones, Lina Sontag, Gabriela Jaquez and Christeen Iwuala round out the freshman group.
