South Carolina’s Final Four Berth Brings Two-Word Response From A’ja Wilson
The No. 1 seed South Carolina Gamecocks were the first team to punch their ticket for the FInal Four in the women’s 2025 NCAA Tournament.
South Carolina defeated No. 2 Duke, 54-50, on Sunday in Birmingham, Ala.
South Carolina led at halftime, but Duke took a 42-38 lead into the fourth quarter before the Gamecocks came back to punch their Final Four ticket.
This marks the fifth straight Final Four trip for South Carolina, and it brings them one step closer to repeating as national champions.
After the game, Las Vegas Aces star and South Carolina alum A’ja Wilson had a two-word message on X.
“Final Fo,” Wilson wrote.
Wilson spent all four years in South Carolina, starting from 2014-15 and playing her final season in 2017-18.

In her first year, she had just one start, but she became a primary focal point of the team from that point on.
Wilson played and started in all 35 games during the Gamecocks’ national title run in 2016-17 and scored 17.9 points per game that year.
In the WNBA, Wilson has made the transition smoothly. She is a three-time WNBA MVP, a six-time All-Star and a two-time champion with the Las Vegas Aces.
Now, she is enjoying watching her former team make another deep run in March Madness. South Carolina will now await its fate in the Final Four as Dawn Staley’s team plays the winner of No. 1 Texas and No. 2 TCU.
