UCLA, which beat the defending national champions on Nov. 24, is the top seed in Women's March Madness. Coach Dawn Staley and South Carolina will open tournament play with a first-round game against No. 16 Tennessee Tech on Friday in Colonial Life Arena.
South Carolina, the No. 1 seed in its region, returned many players from last year’s title team but dropped three games this season, including a November road loss to UCLA that snapped a 43-game winning streak. The Gamecocks also suffered defeats to Texas and UConn in February, the latter ending their 71-game home winning streak.
With so many possible player combinations, Dawn Staley’s deep roster struggled to get into a rhythm in the Gamecocks’ Sweet 16 win over Maryland.
“There were two key factors behind UCLA and South Carolina,” Dawkins told ESPN. “One was the head-to-head matchup. And the other was in our criteria, which was competitive in losses. South Carolina suffered a 29-point loss to UConn. Those were the two key differences in those resumes.”
