The South Carolina Gamecocks will not repeat as back-to-back NCAA women's national champions after falling 82-59 to UConn on Sunday. Not only did South Carolina lose in the NCAA championship game for the first time, but they got blown out by UConn, losing by over 20 points.
Over the past two years heading into this season, South Carolina was easily the most dominant team in women's college basketball. They went 74-1 over that span, and did not lose a single game during the 2023-24 season on their way to winning a third national championship for the program.
