South Carolina is 34-2 this year and won the SEC regular season title. In the NCAA Tournament, the team defeated Howard 79-21, Miami 49-33, North Carolina 69-61, Creighton 80-50 and Louisville 72-59.
South Carolina was the number one ranked team in both the Associated Press and Coaches Polls for the entirety of the season and entered the Final Four as the nation’s third best scoring defense, giving up 50.5 points per game this season.
Boston was a major part of that defense’s success as she led the team with 2.49 blocked shots per game, which was the 14th highest in that category in the country this season. Boston also averaged 1.3 steals per game, which is a tie with fellow Gamecock Destanni Henderson.
