For all of the person stars that have overwhelmed features in women’s college ball this season, driven by Caitlin Clark in Iowa and Juju Watkins at USC, it’s once once more been the South Carolina Gamecocks that have been the overwhelming group within the don.
South Carolina entered Saturday’s SEC Competition elimination round against Tennessee at a idealize 30-0 on the season, with as it were a modest bunch of near calls on the year, but the Woman Vols were up for the challenge and pushed the Gamecocks to the brink in Greenville. South Carolina hopped out to an early 19-6 lead after the primary quarter and driven by 13 at the half, but Tennessee consistently reeled them within the fourth quarter, pulling ahead by two within the last seconds.
The Gamecocks required a wonder to urge a win with 1.1 seconds on the clock, inbounding the ball from fair past halfcourt, and got it within the frame of the primary career three-pointer from center Kamilla Cardoso, who was unguarded at the beat of the key. Cardoso caught the inbounds pass, ventured behind the line, turned, and let go up a shot that managed an account in as the buzzer sounded, keeping the Gamecocks record idealize.
