South Carolina women's basketball is one win away from making its third consecutive Final Four appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

The No. 1 Gamecocks (35-0) take on 2-seed Maryland (28-6) at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville on Monday (7 p.m., ESPN). A South Carolina victory would set a school record for most wins in a season and would send the Gamecocks to the fifth Final Four in program history.

South Carolina dominated its Nov. 11 meeting with Maryland, winning 81-56 at College Park en route to completing the program's first undefeated regular season. If they go all the way to the national title, South Carolina will be just the fifth program in NCAA history to finish with a perfect record.
