Top-seeded South Carolina (33-2) defeated 10-seed Creighton (23-10) Sunday night by the score of 80-50 to win the Greensboro Region of the NCAA Tournament and advance to the Final Four with hopes of avenging last year’s loss to Stanford at the same stage.
Although USC is mainly known for its defense, which keeps them in games even when the offense is not performing as well as it should, the Gamecocks excelled in both categories against Creighton.
South Carolina didn’t get off to an ideal start defensively, allowing 16 points in the first quarter, but it was clear from the get-go how things were going to play out on offense.
