The No. 3 South Carolina Gamecocks have started Southeastern Conference play with a decisive 83-57 victory over the previously undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide. This win marks South Carolina's impressive 24th consecutive triumph against the Crimson Tide. Joyce Edwards led the charge for the Gamecocks with a remarkable 25 points, showcasing her pivotal role in the team's success.
Despite playing without injured star Ta'Niya Latson, who averages 16.9 points per game, South Carolina displayed its depth and resilience. The team established a commanding double-digit lead in the first half. Although Alabama managed to cut the deficit before halftime, a dominant 23-10 run by the Gamecocks in the third quarter solidified their control over the game.
Alabama, now with their first loss of the season, was led by Collins with 17 points. The Gamecocks are looking forward to the potential return of 6-foot-7 player Alicia Tournebize, who signed last month and may be eligible to play as soon as Sunday's game against Florida, pending visa and enrollment finalization.
