CASSANDRA NEGLEY: Number one overall seed South Carolina is back into the Final Four and their offensive power is back to South Carolina defeated. Number 10 seed Creighton 80 to 50 in the Elite 8 on Sunday night. A big game for Aliyah Boston. She had 19 points and 7 rebounds. She did miss out on her what would have been 28th consecutive double-double.
It was Victaria Saxton, who had 11 points and 11 rebounds for that double-double. It was the guard play of Destanni Henderson that stood out the most. She was perfect in the first quarter. It was absolutely phenomenal for them from deep 12 points. She had three rebounds, three assists, three steals, which was big for a South Carolina team that had struggled on offense coming into this game. They shot 50% that has only happened a few times this year, and it is the first time in the tournament that they shot better than 40%.
This offensive is peaking at the right time and will have some momentum going into the Final Four. Number 10 Creighton season, and Lauren Jensen had 12 points. She was the only double digit score for them. It came down to too much height on South Carolina, and Creighton couldn't get all the 3 pointers that they're used to getting this season.
