I think South Carolina is a better team, but after winning seven games, and hearing things about them going to possibly the Peach, Outback, or Music City and then end up in Birmingham, I would have to believe that they are at least a little bit disappointed.
UConn, on the other hand I think will play their hearts out for their teammate who was tragically killed. I can't recall his name and don't feel like googling it right now.
