South Carolina women’s basketball shrugged off its underdog status in the SEC tournament final on Sunday to put together a thorough and dominant performance against top-seeded, undefeated Mississippi State, upsetting the Bulldogs 62-51 for the Gamecocks’ fourth straight conference tourney title.

USC (26-6, 12-4 SEC) spoiled what had been a perfect season for MSU (32-1, 16-0 SEC), never trailing after the first quarter and leading for 33:44 of the game’s 40 minutes. In doing so, coach Dawn Staley’s squad also got redemption and revenge from its 67-53 defeat to the Bulldogs on Feb.
