The South Carolina Gamecocks Dominated their round one opponent in the Women's March Madness tournament. Now, we take a look at Indiana.

For the second straight season, the South Carolina Gamecocks are set to face off against the Indiana Hoosiers in the NCAA's Women's March Madness tournament. The Gamecocks are fresh off a 108-48 win over Tennessee Tech in the first round.

The South Carolina Gamecocks are the deepest team in Women's College Basketball. Not only do they lead the nation in bench points, but they play a staggering 13-player rotation under head coach Dawn Staley.

The Hoosiers enter the contest at the 9th seed in the region, carrying a (20-12) overall record on the season. Though they are a team that's perhaps figured things out with time off. They finsihed the regular season and conference tournament with a (4-5) record over their last nine games.

South Carolina on the other hand has lost four games in the last three seasons. They are the considerable favorite in the contest.
