A lot can change in four months. South Carolina women’s basketball is counting on it.
On Dec. 2, 2018, the Gamecocks hosted then-No. 4 Baylor at Colonial Life Arena and were run off their feet early in a 94-69 blowout loss. Now, nearly 120 days later, No. 4 seed USC and No. 1 seed BU will meet again, this time in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Both teams’ seasons have changed trajectories plenty in between the two contests, and the two teams that play each other Saturday will be in vastly different places from where they were.
