The South Carolina Gamecocks and Gonzaga Bulldogs open Saturday’s Final Four in Phoenix, Arizona, both in uncharted territory. Neither school has ever made it this far. For the Bulldogs, there has been years of close but no cigar heartbreak in the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight. For South Carolina, there hadn’t even been an Elite Eight appearance until last weekend.
Both teams enter Phoenix with something to prove, as they’re 40 minutes away from playing for the National Championship.
