COLUMBIA — It’s getting to the point where it could almost be considered a rivalry. The South Carolina women’s basketball team is preparing to face Syracuse for the third time in the past 17 months, and with each meeting the stakes only get higher.
WHO: No. 1 seed South Carolina (33-1) vs. No. 4 seed Syracuse (27-7)
WHEN: Friday, 7 p.m.
NEXT: Winner plays No. 3 seed Ohio State or No. 7 seed Tennessee in regional final Sunday
The first was in November of 2014 in the championship game of a tournament in the Bahamas, which the Gamecocks won 67-63.
