Season over for USC with Sweet 16 loss
March 30, 2019
South Carolina women’s basketball had clear and concrete goals for how it would upset No. 1 overall seed Baylor heading into the Sweet 16: 3-pointers, speed, transition offense and defensive pressure.
But when the ball tipped at Greensboro Coliseum on Saturday, the fourth-seeded Gamecocks got very little of those things early, and the Lady Bears reminded everyone why they’re one of the current tournament favorites, defeating USC 93-68, to end the Gamecocks’ season.
When the two teams met on Dec. 2, Baylor (34-1, 18-0 Big 12) raced out to a quick 32-13 lead in the first quarter and never looked back in a 94-69 win. On Saturday, South Carolina (23-10, 13-3 SEC) once again fell victim to a slow start and never recovered.
