[@LLCoolNay630]

Yes. All of their players are crazy good. Once they shut down Caitlyn they can cruise to a win. Iowa relies heavy on 3 pointers but SC can both drive and shoot 3’s easily. Even Cardozo hit a game winning 3 pointer.

[@ToReallyLive.]

@@LLCoolNay630 yeah slower teams can’t close out gaps and contest alotta open 3s. Defense is SC motto lol those open looks won’t be so available with closing speed and a bench coming in with the same intensity down the stretch.

[@stevenmiller6725]

I think the media has been working it the whole time. SC heavy favorite. Caitlin the super star heavy underdog. Classic big game story. Be a fun game to watch probably get huge ratings. Wouldn't be surprised if Caitlyn goes off. Be funny if Cardoza scores high 30's though. She's capable. Think half the SC players could do that. They just pass too much. That whole team thing.

When it was 32-31, I thought Coach Moore and the team were going to be in for a nailbiter all the down to the end. When that 3rd quarter happened, I realized Coach Staley got her crew to go next level which is what you have to do to win National Championships. Well done, South Carolina! We certainly got schooled in that 3rd quarter. Hopefully, we learned valuable lessons which we will be able to implement next year. Love ya, Wolfpack Women! You put NC State women's basketball on the map, on the porch with the big dogs of women's basketball. And you did it in a year where nobody expected you to even be one of the top two teams in the ACC, much less actually make the playoffs. Such a phenomenal year!

Wow amazing performance by the south Carolina Women team this afternoon was a tough and physical and mental game tonight but by the end of the clock they came out in top.Hopefully they will win the championship this year. Great contributions tonight and efforts from Ashlyn,Kamilla ,Te-hina, Raven Johnson and Tessa Johnson tonight.But for me the MVP player goes to Kamilla her 22 points lead South Carolina to the victory and prevented them from being eliminated. But on the defense end this afternoon was a big and great game coming from Ashlyn Watkins with 20 rebounds and several blocks she did amazing work on the defense end . The defense MVP goes to Watkins tonight. This is a great night for Gamecocks fans and Dawn Stanley as well.
