NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Aliyah Boston notched her 22nd consecutive double-double with 17 points and 14 rebounds as top-ranked South Carolina beat Arkansas 76-54 on Friday in the Southeastern Conference Tournament quarterfinals.
The Gamecocks (28-1) received their SEC regular-season championship before tipoff then took their first step toward a seventh tournament title in eight years against the last team to beat them in the event. Arkansas knocked off South Carolina in 2019 with the Gamecocks undefeated since then, winning the tournament in 2020 and 2021.
Boston, the SEC player of the year and three-time SEC defensive player of the year, did a bit of everything as usual.
