Mikiah Herbert Harrigan stood alone with the ball at the top of the key.
The senior South Carolina forward had missed three of her first four shots to start the game, but by late in the second quarter against the Gators, she had found her groove. After hitting five consecutive shots, she made it six by burying the three.
Like Herbert Harrigan, USC struggled early on, trading buckets and leads with Florida in the first quarter.
But also like their third-leading scorer (who finished with a team-high 18 points), the Gamecocks’ talent advantage showed itself, and the floodgates opened.
