MINNEAPOLIS -- The team that has been No. 1 in women's basketball since this season began, South Carolina, will play for the NCAA championship Sunday.
The Gamecocks, the No. 1 overall seed, beat another No. 1, Louisville, 72-59 at Target Center in the women's Final Four semifinal Friday.
South Carolina (34-2) will be in the NCAA final for the second time in program history. The Gamecocks won the 2017 national championship game. South Carolina lost in the SEC final last month on a late 3-pointer by Kentucky, but now will compete for the title that means the most.
