There is plenty of quality in the 2024 women’s Final Four. Here’s what to know as Iowa, South Carolina, NC State and UConn battle for glory.

Dawn Staley’s Gamecocks are entering their fourth consecutive Final Four having not lost a single game all season.

This is actually the second straight NCAA Tournament where South Carolina carried a perfect record in the Final Four. Last year, the then-36-0 Gamecocks were stunned by Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes in the national semifinals.

While South Carolina could still run into Clark and Co. again, it won’t be in the Final Four. This time around, the 36-0 Gamecocks are up against No. 3 NC State, which is making just its second Final Four appearance and first since 1998.

Before the Gamecocks and Wolfpack square off, here’s a look at the history South Carolina is closing in on:
