The South Carolina basketball team won last week’s SEC Tournament.
Dawn Staley and the South Carolina women’s basketball team took home another Southeastern Conference title on Sunday, the program’s sixth SEC tournament title in the last seven seasons. Staley’s Gamecocks took down seventh-seeded Alabama, third-seeded Tennessee, and fourth-seeded Georgia in consecutive nights to cut down the nets in Greenville.
In the championship matchup, South Carolina used a monster third quarter to pull away from the 16th-ranked Bulldogs, outscoring their opponent 17-8 in the period to break open what had been a tie game at halftime.
