The first matchup of the 2024 women’s NCAA Tournament Elite Eight is set in Regional 1 Albany. Well 1 seed South Carolina takes on No. 3 seed Oregon State to decide who will travel to Cleveland for the 2024 Women’s Final Four.

The Gamecocks held off a late comeback by Indiana to win 79-75 in Friday’s Sweet 16 matchup. That latest win to remain undefeated this season comes after a 91-39 win over Presbyterian in the first round and an 88-41 win over North Carolina in the second round.

Oregon State’s in the Elite Eight for the first time since 2018. Double-digit wins over Eastern Washington in the first round and Nebraska in the second round preceded a Sweet 16 upset victory 70-65 over No. 2 seed Notre Dame.

This is the fourth time these two programs have met on the basketball court. South Carolina holds the series lead 2-1 with the most recent win, 59-42 in the second round of the 2021 women’s NCAA Tournament.
