UConn and South Carolina will meet on Nov. 24 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, marking their first clash since a heated postgame altercation at the Final Four last month. The rivalry matchup headlines the 13th annual Basketball Hall of Fame Women's Showcase, with UCLA and St. John's squaring off in the companion game.

Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley exchanged heated words after South Carolina upset then-undefeated UConn 62-48 in the NCAA tournament semifinal on April 3. Coaches intervened to separate the two, and Auriemma walked off without shaking hands with the Gamecocks. Auriemma apologized four days later, admitting he "lost himself" during the tense exchange on national television.

Staley indicated she's prepared to move forward, stating that "one moment doesn't define a career." The Huskies hold a 9-6 series advantage since the start of the 2014-15 season, though the Gamecocks have won five of their last seven encounters. Their November showdown will reignite one of women's college basketball's most compelling rivalries with significant postseason implications looming.
