In Friday’s action, chalk was the theme of the day, with Nos. 1 and 2 seeds South Carolina and Mississippi State soundly knocking off UNC Asheville and Troy, respectively. Gamecock guard Allisha Gray led all scorers with 24 points, while A’ja Wilson — who’s struggled with an ankle injury this year — added 18 of her own.
Mississippi State dumped 110 points on No. 15 Troy, led by 21 points from Blair Schaefer. The Bulldogs are 30-4 this year, with regular season wins over Villanova, Oregon, Iowa State, and Tennessee. They’re also sprinting through a 21-game winning streak, and last year’s memory of a 98-38 immolation at the hands of UConn in last year’s tournament is surely carrying them into this year’s postseason.
