This was no day for Cinderellas.
The pumpkin smashed, the slipper shattered. The Quinnipiac Bobcats were the story of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, and No. 1 seed South Carolina wasn’t about to become another chapter in the round of 16.
The Gamecocks became Quinnipiac’s end note Saturday, and not with much subtlety.
South Carolina had 16 points before Quinnipiac got on the board at the Stockton Regional. The final score of 100-58 was more formality than anything else as the fully in-gear Gamecocks (30-4) romped to an Elite Eight matchup with the winner of Florida State-Oregon State.
