GREENVILLE, S.C. — South Carolina is stocked with front-line, championship talent. It also has a bench that's second-to-none in the women's game. The Gamecocks lead the country in bench scoring this season at more than 36 points a game as the top overall NCAA Tournament seeds prepare for a Sweet 16 matchup with fourth-seeded UCLA on Saturday. Second-seeded Maryland faces No. 3 seed Notre Dame in the other contest at the Greenville 1 Regional. South Carolina's roster features nine McDonald's All-Americans, six who come off the bench. It's an advantage that's helped South Carolina to a margin of victory of more than 30 points per win.
