The South Carolina women's basketball team made history Monday night, earning its first ever number one seed in the NCAA basketball tournament.

The team will travel to Seattle over the weekend, where they'll face Cal State Northridge in first round action.

The Gamecocks were never in the running to host a regional game this season, in light of an NCAA boycott against South Carolina.

The boycott is in protest of the confederate flag, which continues to fly on State House grounds. The NCAA has said it will not bring it's post-season tournament games to South Carolina, games whose sites have been determined in advance
