Speed kills: Fast-paced Gamecocks show off new playing style in exhibition rout

South Carolina’s new playing style appears to suit Destanni Henderson just fine.

The freshman guard scored 13 points as the No. 10 Gamecocks rolled Lander, 100-62, on Friday evening at Colonial Life Arena. Henderson’s stat line — which also included two steals and six assists — was one thing, but it was her pace that lined up perfectly with a USC bunch that played publicly for the the first time without A’ja Wilson.

Dawn Staley’s Gamecocks want to run this season. They no longer have the dominant inside presence of a three-time All-American and SEC Player of the Year.
