Undefeated South Carolina meets NC State in the women’s Final Four off Friday, April 5. The game will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off first month).

South Carolina has no losses, and maybe not enough love.

While two sublime star players are soaking up much of the spotlight at this year’s women’s Final Four, the undefeated, unafraid and unabashedly true-to-themselves Gamecocks seem to be getting overlooked.

They were No. 1 in the AP Top 25 the past four months, yet are getting second billing this weekend.

But as her so-far perfect team prepared to play No. 3 seed North Carolina State in Friday’s first national semifinal — an undercard of sorts to the Iowa vs. UConn/Caitlin Clark vs. Paige Bueckers main event — South Carolina coach Dawn Staley wasn’t complaining about any lack of national respect or coverage.

She’s fought those fights.

Staley, the AP Coach of the Year appearing in her fourth straight Final Four, was singularly focused.

That’s all the Gamecocks (36-0) have done this season, steamrolling through the Southeastern Conference with little trouble and winning games by an average 29.6 points. One of their wins was by 82, another by 70.

There’s barely been a scare except for the March 9 conference tourney game against Tennessee, when All-America center Kamilla Cardoso banked in the only 3-pointer of her career at the buzzer for a 74-73 win.

Otherwise, South Carolina, which won the national title in 2022 and has steadily matured into one of college basketball’s best programs over the past decade under Staley, has dominated like few other teams in recent memory.
