South Carolina, UConn punch tickets to NCAA championship after Final Four routs

• The Gamecocks will have a chance to repeat as champs
• UConn aiming to win program's 12th national title

The women's basketball Final Four has its championship matchup, as No 1 seeded South Carolina and No 2 seed UConn each advanced in a pair of routs on Friday night over Texas and UCLA, respectively.

Sunday's title game will feature two of women's basketball's marquee programs, with defending champions South Carolina looking to be the first team to defend their national title since UConn won four straight from 2013-16. UConn, meanwhile, will be looking for their 12th NCAA Tournament championship, and first since the last of that run in 2016.
