Preview

UConn improved to 16-1 over their last 17 games, remaining undefeated in Big East competition. The Huskies have played well despite another season of multiple injuries. They’re 0-1 in ranked games since losing Aaliyah Edwards to an ankle injury in early January. They have their biggest test of the season in this game against South Carolina. They’ll lean on Paige Bueckers to lead the way in scoring once again.

South Carolina improved to 22-0 following their blowout win over Missouri on Thursday. They continue to look like the clear best team in the country. Although the Gamecocks have had it easy as of late, they can’t afford to lose their momentum before the NCAA Tournament. This game against UConn provides a key game against premier competition for South Carolina to stay alert. Their stellar defense will be crucial here.


Prediction

Super Bowl Sunday is extra exciting this year, with an incredible college basketball matchup to fill the afternoon. These two teams faced off in the 2022 Championship game, which South Carolina went on to win. The Gamecocks already defeated 2023 champions LSU this season, and will be aiming to add to their accolades. I expect a competitive game, but I’m not betting against undefeated South Carolina at home.

NCAAW Picks:

  • South Carolina 81, UConn 74 ()
