From Paris to Cleveland, the Gamecock women’s basketball team returned home on Monday to celebrate their perfect season with fams inside Colonial Life Arena.
What’s next? A parade down Main Street at 2 p.m. on Sunday, April 14.
Let’s quickly look at some of this year’s many highlights.
- “Shoot it!” yelled Coach Staley as Kamilla Cardoso knocked down a three-pointer with 1.1 seconds left to defeat Tennessee in the SEC Tournament semifinal.
- Local star freshman MiLaysia Fulwiley made her name known around the world with this behind-the-back scoop layup in Paris.
- Freshman Tessa Johnson scored a career-high 19 points off the bench to help her team defeat the Iowa Hawkeyes during the championship game.
- Bree (Breezy) Hall hit a go-ahead three-pointer with just over a minute remaining, as the Gamecocks rallied from an 11-point deficit to beat ninth-ranked and defending national champion LSU 76-70 in Baton Rouge.
- Raven Johnson seized her moment and hit a huge three-pointer to keep USC ahead against Indiana in the NCAA Tournament.
