South Carolina and NC State face off in the first national semifinal on Friday evening in Cleveland.

Despite the number one ranking and a 36-0 record, South Carolina is seemingly an afterthought in the Final Four. South Carolina has made four straight Final Fours, while NC State is making just its second appearance and first since 1998.

The Gamecocks are seeking their second national championship in three years.
