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.

- Freshman Tessa Johnson scored a career-high 19 points off the bench to help her team defeat the Iowa Hawkeyes during the championship game.
