How to watch South Carolina vs. Duke in women’s Elite Eight matchup on Sunday afternoon

Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks are one win away from a fifth consecutive Final Four berth. Kara Lawson can guide Duke to its biggest win in two decades by upsetting the reigning champs. Sunday’s Elite Eight draw is a good one, with the second region’s top two seeds dueling for Tampa. South Carolina is favored by several points, but the Blue Devils have been glowing down the stretch.

Sophomore spark MiLaysia Fulwiley saved South Carolina’s title defense last round, dropping 23 points in 21 bench minutes to shore up the comeback against Maryland. There was a lid on the rim for the rest of the squad; Raven Johnson, Bree Hall, Sania Feagin and Te-Hina Paopao combined to shoot an unsightly 4-for-23. “Fullcourt Fulwiley” was in full effect to right the wrongs:

The Gamecocks continue to win off their tremendous depth. Joyce Edwards and Chloe Kitts can each take over a game, the offensive rebounding and bench scoring are momentum-deflators and there are no real holes across this cohesive eight-player rotation.

Duke knows the challenge it faces, but it’s been balling with a lot of confidence since its ACC tournament surge. A stunner here would put them in their first Final Four since 2006, when Monique Currie led the program with her All-American turn. The Blue Devils advanced on the right side of a 47-38 Sweet 16 rock fight with archenemy UNC.

Like South Carolina, Duke was buoyed by a leading scorer off the bench. Oluchi Okananwa hopped into a massive 12-12 double-double, correcting for duds from usually-reliable veterans Ashlon Jackson and Reigan Richardson. Jackson was in her bag the game prior, hitting five of nine tries behind the arc in the win over Oregon. Freshman Toby Fournier is looking like a future face of the college game, and it should be rewarding to watch her biggest test yet.

These two sides last met in December’s ACC-SEC Challenge, with the host Gamecocks winning, 81-70.
