Texas won 70-53. Dawn Staley and South Carolina could see some familiar faces on their path to trying to finish off an undefeated season.
South Carolina coach Dawn Staley’s squad has been challenged a few times this year, including needing a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from Kamilla Cardoso to win the semifinals of the SEC Tournament over Tennessee, but has always pulled through. The Gamecocks, who are a No. 1 seed for the fourth consecutive year, will play the winner of Sacred Heart and Presbyterian in the first round of the tournament.
Cardoso will miss the opening game after getting ejected for fighting in the SEC title game.
