The national championship is set, and we’ve got a rematch coming up in Florida.
No. 1 South Carolina and No. 2 UConn will square off in the title game on Sunday afternoon from Amalie Arena in Tampa. The Gamecocks are looking to win a second straight championship while Paige Bueckers and the Huskies are attempting to win their first title in nearly a decade.
The Gamecocks handled Texas fairly easily in their Final Four matchup. They cruised to a 17-point win over the Longhorns. It marked their second straight blowout win over Texas, too, following their win in the SEC tournament championship.
UConn saw South Carolina’s blowout and immediately outdid them. The Huskies flew past Lauren Betts and UCLA to grab a 34-point win, which was the largest in Final Four history. Azzi Fudd dropped 19 points, all in the first half, while the Huskies completely shut down UCLA, and then Sarah Strong took them home with a team-high 22 points.
UConn has now won 15 straight games, all of which have come by double digits. The Huskies stunned the Gamecocks with a near-30-point blowout win in South Carolina in February, too, which ended their 71-game home win streak. While Sunday’s game is sure to be much more competitive, the Huskies look unstoppable.
