CLEVELAND — South Carolina star center Kamilla Cardoso briefly exited the Gamecocks' 78-59 win over North Carolina State in the Final Four with a right leg injury. The scare did little to slow Cardoso down. The 6-foot-7 player dominated down low, finishing with 22 points and 11 rebounds in 23 minutes as the unbeaten Gamecocks advanced to their second national title game in three years. South Carolina will play either Iowa or Connecticut on Sunday, and Cardoso's health could be a concern. She helped the Gamecocks dominate the third quarter but didn't play in the fourth.
