UConn and South Carolina are set to square off in the Elite Eight of the Albany Regional with the winner taking a spot in Columbus for the Final Four. Mississippi State and Louisville have already punched their ticket, while Oregon and Notre Dame fight for the final spot after the Huskies and Gamecocks play.
A Rare Occurence
When UConn and South Carolina step on the court Monday night in the Elite Eight, the two teams will accomplish something that women’s college basketball has rarely seen. It will be a NCAA Tournament battle between the last two national champions, something that has happened just four times in the history of the tournament, according to Hearst CT Media’s Jim Fuller.
