COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Baylor coach Kim Mulkey knows her team can pound the ball inside. Once the No. 4 Lady Bears started hitting 3-pointers Sunday night, she knew No. 18 South Carolina wasn't going to be much trouble.
Baylor (7-0) made seven of its first 10 shots to jump out to a 16-3 lead. The Lady Bears scored 32 points in the first quarter -- tied for the most ever against the Gamecocks (4-4).
Baylor went inside and outside. Seven of its 10 two-point field goals were inside the paint and they were 3 for 4 on 3-pointers.
