Texas vs South Carolina is set to get underway on Friday at 7 p.m. ET. The No. 1 Texas Longhorns will take on the No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks in the first of two Final Four matchups taking place on Friday. Three of the four teams remaining are the No. 1 seeds from their section of the bracket.

Texas vs South Carolina women's basketball prediction

Heading into this matchup, both teams have taken care of business throughout the March Madness Tournament. The Texas Longhorns are coming off a 58-47 win over No. 2 TCU in the Elite Eight. Similarly, South Carolina is coming off a 54-50 win over No. 2 Duke in the Elite Eight. Both teams have proven that they can win low-scoring games.

Although both teams have performed well throughout the tournament, neither has had a truly dominant performance since the first round. However, now that these two teams face off against each other, it will be interesting to see if fans are in store for another close matchup.

South Carolina enters the game as the favorite and the defending national champions. The Gamecocks are favored to win because of their balanced offense and experience in tournament games. We agree with that sentiment and believe the South Carolina Gamecocks will reach the national championship game for the third time in four years.

Prediction: South Carolina 63, Texas 61
