STARKVILLE, Miss. — South Carolina and Mississippi State were in the fourth quarter of a grind-it-out, defensive struggle when the Gamecocks’ Tiffany Mitchell grabbed the ball and knifed into the lane for a layup.
Less than 20 seconds later, the star senior did it again.
It was one of the few offensive bursts for No. 2 South Carolina in its 57-51 victory over No. 10 Mississippi State on Sunday night. In the end, the Gamecocks’ depth was simply too much for the Bulldogs.
