GREENSBORO, N.C. — South Carolina, the top-seeded team in the women’s tournament, is heading to its fourth Final Four after defeating Creighton 80-50 on Sunday.
The Gamecocks put on a show in one of their best games of the year. The 10th-seeded Bluejays, one of several big underdogs in the men’s and women’s tournaments this year, were no match for Aliyah Boston, the Gamecocks’ star forward, who scored 19 points.
But just as great movies cannot rely on a single star, Boston leaned on a supporting cast of guard Brea Beal, forward Victaria Saxton and guard Destanni Henderson to stop Creighton’s impressive defense.
