Two of the Southeastern Conference’s premier women’s basketball teams are set to clash on Saturday, with the winner securing a spot in the conference championship game. No. 3 South Carolina will take on No. 6 LSU at 4:30 p.m. at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville.
Fans can catch the action live on ESPN 2 or listen on the radio at 106.7 FM. For those looking to attend the game, certified resale tickets are still available through Ticketmaster, which also grants access to the second semifinal game later in the day.
Both teams come into the semifinal with strong quarterfinal victories. The Gamecocks, top-seeded in the tournament, demonstrated their dominance with an 87-64 win over Kentucky. Meanwhile, fourth-seeded LSU displayed their offensive firepower, overwhelming Oklahoma with a score of 112-78.
Earlier this season, the two teams faced off once, with South Carolina emerging victorious with a 79-72 win in Baton Rouge in February. A victory on Saturday would mark the Gamecocks’ remarkable 19th consecutive win against LSU in women’s basketball.
The stakes are high, as the winner will advance to face either No. 4 Texas or No. 24 Ole Miss in the SEC Championship, scheduled for 3 p.m. Sunday, also airing on ESPN.
With a strong local following and high expectations, this matchup is positioned to be a thrilling contest in the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament.
