CLEVELAND -- Undefeated South Carolina looked every bit the No. 1 overall seed in its dominant 19-point victory over NC State on Friday night in the women's Final Four. Though NC State was able to hang with South Carolina for two quarters, the Gamecocks used a third-quarter explosion to beat the Wolfpack and advance to the national championship game.
