South Carolina has what I would call depth. Their bench is keeping them in the game.

 

[ttharp]

Agreed. This is why I pencil CT into my mind's Final Four every season.

I agree. Right now, it’s hard to see a team outside of SC or Stanford ending their streak and they’ll all likely be 1 seeds, so yeah.

I just looked at the box score. SC has used 12 players, and only have nine points from their starting five, and are down five.

 

[Rooster1]

Yep…weird game….but the SC bench came back from 14 down..lotta players on this team. The second five is almost as good as the first and there are some 3rd stringers that can ball out.

 

[Rooster1]

I bet SC takes charge in the 2nd half., Cook and Boston have barely played so far..

 

[VolBalls33]

SC only has 3 assists at the half and only down 4, pretty impressive to still be in the game. Of course it helps turning Stanford over 11 times. When UT has played at Stanford I always felt some calls were always questionable. Anyone watching were Boston's fouls legit?

 

[ttharp]

Brink looks so good out there

 

[lvocd]

That pass from Jones! Instant ESPN highlight.

 

[glv98]

Gosh organized offense is fun to watch! Who knew?

Kudos to the ever classy Tara for showing Flea Market Barbie how its done. She has a Brittney Griner shirt on. Didn't say a word, didn't stir up controversy, just showed she cares. Thank you Tara.

edited to add: I see Dawn has the shirt also. Good on both of them

 

[lvocd]

Oof. We play Stanford in 4 weeks. They play like grown-@zz women, so I sure am glad we didn't catch them today.

 

[NoBackBoard]

Overtime!

 

[Chipperbones]

Stanford and SC going to OT.

 

[ttharp]

I think this is where we see SC’s championship experience kick in. Think they’ll pull it out.

 

[lvocd]

This is HUGE for South Carolina. Huge!

 

[SGMVols]

This is HUGE for South Carolina. Huge!

They will go undefeated.

That’s the hardest game they’ll have all year. Lock up that top 1 seed and let Stanford and UCONN battle it out in the semis.

 

[Rooster1]

They refused to lose that game.

 

[AntiochVol81]

Oof. We play Stanford in 4 weeks. They play like grown-@zz women, so I sure am glad we didn't catch them today.

And fans will say “they just couldn’t miss”

Yep. And they won it with Boston experiencing foul trouble both in the 1st half and OT. Undefeated season loading.

 

[Ladyvolfan45]

That was an epic choke job by Stanford. The cherry on top was calling a timeout when they had none coming out of a timeout

Both these teams are going to boat-race Tennessee. It's like they're playing a completely different sport...

 

[Rooster1]

Brink is really good…..Haley Jones was 5-19 with Brea Beal guarding her.

 

[glv98]

Great game, fun to watch, two really good teams. Great comeback by SC. I don't think much was settled about who's the best team. Congrats to our SC posters! Must be nice.

 

[lvocd]

Brink is really good…..

She is, which is why her aggressive play with four fouls surprised me. When she blocked that shot in regulation, I thought that was too risky. It worked out, but she was lucky. And then the final foul. Wow. She should have worked harder to stay in the game.

South Carolina did what few opponents do by beating them in Maples, so y'all are in for a magical season.
