South Carolina has officially logged a second straight undefeated season heading into March Madness, thanks to an incredible Kamilla Cardoso buzzer-beater and a solid showing against LSU in the SEC final.
ESPN's Women's College Basketball Power Index (BPI) gives the Gamecocks a 39% chance to win the NCAA tournament. The Gamecocks started off as the highest-ranked preseason team, just ahead of UConn and LSU, according to BPI.
They haven't moved from that spot, and the gap between them and the rest of women's college basketball has only grown. Through Monday's games, South Carolina had a BPI of 50.2, with No.
2 UConn the only other team over 45. However, 39% still means if given the choice between South Carolina and the field, BPI would take the field.
