South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Missouri Tigers: Gamecocks hot start fuels 83-58 victory

Tiffany Mitchell leads the way as the Gamecocks make easy work of the nationally ranked #20 Tigers.

The #2 South Carolina Gamecocks didn't have to shake off a slow start in this one. With a double-digit lead for the majority of the game, Dawn Staley's bunch took advantage of Missouri's poor first half jump shooting and pounced on the Tigers early en route to an 83-58 victory Sunday afternoon in the CLA.

South Carolina led 17-5 after one thanks in large part to rim protection on one end and penetrating the paint on the other.
