The top-seeded South Carolina Gamecocks turned in another vintage performance on defense and on the boards, overwhelming the fourth-seeded UCLA Bruins 59-43 on Saturday in the Greenville 1 Regional to earn their third straight trip to the Elite Eight.
Much like they did in November’s meeting against the Bruins, star forward Aliyah Boston and fellow big Kamilla Cardoso put on a clinic in the post: Boston scored just eight points, but pulled down 14 boards and nabbed two blocks, while Cardoso netted 10 points, four rebounds, and two blocks.
Guards Brea Beal and Bree Hall joined Cardoso with 10 points each.
