  • South Carolina, with a 34-3 record, was stymied by Duke's defense for much of the game, needing a strong fourth quarter comeback after trailing 42-38.
  • The game was tied at 46-all before Sania Feagin's jumper with 4:21 left put South Carolina ahead, and Chloe Kitts added two free throws to make it 50-46.
  • Chloe Kitts, who led South Carolina with 14 points, was fouled with 5.7 seconds remaining and sank both free throws to seal the victory in front of 11,252 fans, though Duke's Toby Fournier led all scorers with 18 points.
  • South Carolina now advances to the Final Four in Tampa, Florida on Friday night, where they will face the winner of the Texas-TCU game, needing two more wins to become the first team to repeat as national champions since UConn's four-year run from 2013-16.
