BREAKING NEWS: GAMECOCKS ARE GOING BACK TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP

 

The South Carolina Gamecocks are heading back to the national championship game after a dominant 74-57 win over fellow No. 1 seed Texas in the Final Four. With this victory, South Carolina punches its ticket to its second-straight title game appearance, proving once again why they’ve been the most consistent powerhouse in women’s college basketball this season.

 

From the opening tip, the Gamecocks displayed their trademark intensity on both ends of the floor. Their defense set the tone, smothering the Longhorns and forcing tough shots throughout the game. South Carolina controlled the boards, shut down driving lanes, and made life difficult for Texas, holding them to just 57 points — well below their tournament average.

 

Offensively, South Carolina’s depth was on full display. With strong performances from their star players and key contributions off the bench, the Gamecocks built a lead early and never looked back. They moved the ball with poise, attacked the paint relentlessly, and capitalized on second-chance opportunities thanks to their dominance on the glass.

 

This win keeps South Carolina’s perfect season alive and sets up a chance at redemption after last year’s championship heartbreak. Head coach Dawn Staley continues to cement her legacy, guiding her team to yet another championship appearance and showcasing a culture built on discipline, grit, and unselfish play.

 

Now, with one game standing between them and a national title, the Gamecocks are locked in. They’ve taken down every challenger so far — and on Sunday night, they’ll have a chance to finish the job. South Carolina is one win away from perfection.
