The explanation is profoundly simple: For each positional matchup the South Carolina player was either taller and or quicker than the UCONN player and UCONN merely boxing out was not sufficient.

[B]Details: [/B]
Aaliyah  Boston was much quicker than a compromised ONO
Henderson was quicker than a not completely healed Paige
Cooke is/was quicker than  Azzi Fudd 
Brea Beal is/was quicker than Christyn Williams 
Victoria Saxton is/was quicker than AE.

When South Carolina went to the bench:  
Cardoso was matched up with Evina Westbrook and giving away 7 inches of height in the process resulting in Evina being nicked up in this game. 
LeLe Grissette and Leticia Amihere are both taller and quicker than Caroline Ducharme.   
Saniya Rivers and Bree Hall are both taller and quicker than Nika.

To South Carolina's credit and UCONN's detriment  SC was not satisfied with winning the individual defensive matchups.  SC doubled down and compounded their advantage with decisive switching on the perimeter.    Think about this for a second: South Carolina  block 4 shots during this game.  3 of the 4 blocked shots were off perimeter switches and came from three different players ( Boston, Beal, Saxton).  This was really a defensive masterclass and this is what UCONN used to do to other teams.
