This was a week of miracles for Kamilla. Here’s the sequence: 1) Her Mother and Sister were not allowed to board a plane from Brazil to the United States. They had never watched Kamilla play in person in America; 2) Coach Dawn Staley reached out to Congressman Jim Clyburn of South Carolina regarding the situation. Rep. Clyburn is also President Biden’s closest Congressional Member; 3) Visas were granted to Kamilla’s Family to visit the United States; 4) Coach Staley and the Athletic Department of the University of South Carolina set up a surprised meeting, on campus, between Kamilla, her Mother and Sister. We can imagine, or watched the video, of that emotionally charged moment!; 5) While seated in court side VIP seats, Kamilla’s Mother and Sister witnessed her drained a miracle 3-point shot from top of the key that not only won the game and stunned Tennessee that they lost the game, but also electrified all in attendance- shocked or elated-and every Viewer who globally watched this game! Well done and a thousand Thank You’s for the life- long memory, Kamilla!❤️
What a phenomenal story! I watched this game. I was just speechless. ❤
Wow, miracles and synchronicity are real people! Beautiful story. Mucho love to Dawn Staley, South Carolina and Cordova family ❤🙏🏿🤌🏿
It also took Tennessee to miss two free shots, make an unnecessary foul, and play no defense as she took the shot!
Then she got herself ejected for fighting in the next game 😳
What a way to finish! Yes, an Absolute Miracle!
I am AMAZED that they let her shoot that!! I don't care if she didn't hit a 3-pointer all season, you DON'T TAKE A CHANCE!! PLAY DEFENSE!!
100% True
Not all season but her whole career but still I would’ve still had somebody put a hand up for safety measures
That's what happens when you have a lazy defense especially during a conference tournament...
Who was going to block her shot?
@@rover7139doesn’t matter if you block it. just give it an attempt to guard it
Watching this live was wild, they left her wild open and she nailed it like she shoot 3s in the gym all day
Gave her the Ben Simmons treatment, nd played themselves lol
Wild!
@@SinDixon hahahahahah
@@SinDixon Lol
@@SinDixon😂😂😂
Was actually at this game. I never felt energy like that before. We lost our minds when she made it. Literally after the game, I spoke to some fans. We were still shaking from the adrenaline. It's like that moment was in slow motion!
OMG! That must have been insane!
Kinetic ⚡
Cherish that memory!❤️
I can only wish that it would be nice to have witnessed that moment in person.
It was crazy watching it from home I can only imagine how it felt in person!!
I know it was lit in there. I can see that from the video
Look closely at 2:06 Coach Dawn told her exactly where to stand, and then you can see her call her attention again and told her “SHOOT IT!” She drew up and great play… she knew who would be open and trusted her player and told her to shoot it even though she isn’t a 3 point shooter! ❤️👏🏾 wow
a play? they all just stood there on offense too
Yes definitely did.!!! she said coach had her practicing....CONGRATS !!!!!!
The night this game took place, I came to TH-cam and watched those few seconds about 15 times. Here I am again. This time it won't be that many, maybe 12 or so.
Dawn Staley has been doubled goated for this 😮😮
Telling her exactly where to stand.
@@bhudilokhuza😂
South Carolina just won the National Championship with an undefeated season. I told folks when Cardoso made this shot to remember this moment because after SC wins it all, this was the shot which kept the hope of an undefeated season alive
Exactly!!
They STILL would have won a NC
Of course they would've, they just would have 1 loss
Uncommon favor
More like stupidity. They would've been better off just letting the player SC player shoot who was running up the sideline than to foul someone and let them attempt a set play
I used to tell my son it's not over until is over. Kamilla knew that 🎉😊
No basquete tudo pode acontecer a equipe do tennense desacreditou da kamilla por ela não fazer muitas cestas de 3 pontos, ai não marcaram ela, fizeram isso em plena final decisiva
She shot those free throws like she was throwing candy...experience matters...
She rushed them definitely. Smh
0.0 that when you breathe.-basketball player
I thought I was the only who saw that
Chucked it.
nerves my friend. error exists in sport. should or shouldnt doesnt change anything
If you watch Carolina's bench on the inbnound, I love that Sania Feagin stood at the time of release and raised the three. Glad to see someone on the bench was still clinging to confidence over hope in the moment.
Thanks for pointing that out.....She had all the confidence!
Period‼️‼️‼️💪🏾❤️ saniya had that faith of a mustard seed & tha confidence in her teammate ✨️💫🩷
one more reason for me to watch it, YET AGAIN😂thanks😁
Yea that was Dope
THE THRILLA FROM CAMILLA ‼️👌👌👌✂️🤩
Wonder Woman won the Game!
I like how you named that shot
🤣🤣🤣
I won't be surprised if that's what the media calls it.
You nailed it with the caption of the shot! I’m ready to see her and Reese battle
I've watched the ending of the game about 30 times . I love seeing everyone's reaction when the ball goes in
I really hope this play is nominated for an Espy Award seeing that it was Kamilla's first 3 pointer ever and she won the game to get South Carolina to the SEC Finals.
Just noticed Rickea Jackson taking her distraught teammate under her wing right before the end of the video....awesome leadership, and great friendship, there
This is why you have to play until the game is over! Every second counts!!!
1.1-Seconds..
That seemed like an eternity in tik-tok replay! Everyone..
And I mean Anyone, knows in Sports...it's Never Over until the Final Whistle is blown in All-Sports!
it's safe to say the way that Tennessee coach look like she got punched in the gut she knew this was her last day at work😅
😂
Everyone talking about the defense on the final shot… But not about the 2 missed FTs .. yikes
Or the foul at halfcourt with 1.1 second left.
@@richatlarge462 It wasn't a horrible foul - especially fouling in the back court knowing the inbound was gonna be from there and SC had no time outs to draw something up.
@@jacobnyhart6862it was terrible foul like why give them a chance to set up a final shot it’s literally better to make them shoot it from half court then if they gone foul on purpose they should’ve foul her again taking more time off the clock considering they had 2 fouls to give bad coaching it’s obvious
@@richatlarge462The foul was less egregious than Powell missing both free throws. The game could’ve been over at that point. Kellie should’ve called a timeout after she saw Dawn adjust, but she’s not there yet when it comes to these moments.
it was a horrible foul. Do you not understand that the shot they would have had to take is the one at 1:40? @@jacobnyhart6862
The assistant coach was yelling to guard the inbound pass, but the head coach pulled her back. No defense on the inbound or the player. Kamilla is an All American, guard her!!Give it up for women’s basketball. They go hard!!!
I was looking for this comment. Yep she told her twice. Then she told the girl to guard the ball and the girl scooted up and the coach waved her back so she sagged off. I bet she felt real dumb. Matter fact you can tell by how she looked after the 3 went in.
@@taraatkins4823 yea she crouched down like a gut punch.
I’m thinking they should fire the Tennessee coach. Many of the Rocky Top alumni and donors are asking for her to be terminated.-
They didnt deserve to win after what the coach did
There's a record Catlin Clark can't beat. 100 % 3 point shooting.
50%
Cardoso is now 50% in 3point percentage in her career
That aint a record only taking 1 shot, dummy. Theres a ton of players who are 100% for 3's with only 1 shot taken. Using your logic, theres even players who never missed a shot EVER aka 100% in their careers..... as they rode the bench all their collegiate careers. smh
@PqndaP haha thought that was her only attempt. Sorry I was wrong.
Still a good one though. @@davidclos6193
I keep rewatching the last few minutes of this game. An absolute thriller!
Me too!
Me too! It's just a joy to watch. My son was an athletic kid (volleyball, track, wrestling, karate) and I always told him that it is never over until it's over. This was beautiful to watch.
@@tikneshiabeauford7289shoot not even minutes. The last few SECONDS were insane 😂
No shot Tennessee just blew that. 😂😂
South Carolina blew a 23 point lead before that
@@cowboysdubsit’s not about how you start it’s how you finish that’s all that matters ✌️
They were trailing all game , didn't blew anything
@@rover7139 they left her wide open. that is blowing it
@@rover7139They intentionally fouled with 1 second left past half court, gifting SC a set up play.... If that wasn't stupid enough, they then proceeded to stand and watch them shoot a wide open jumper..... Why not stand and watch them shoot a half court heave and not foul??? they blew it.
Tough lesson to learn respect everyone on the floor
Absolutely!!!
Well said!
I just love the fact that it was a packed house at a girls basketball game. That’s awesome!
It's the SEC tournament always been that way toward the end.
Anytime I’m having a bad day or just feeling sad, I rewatch this at least 5 times I can just hear Coach saying “Shoot Kamila Shoot!” And Kamila was like “okay coach”
I bust out a huge grin across my face every time I watch this
That defense was embarrassing
Edit: and Tennessee missed two foul shots to ice the game 😂😭
Edit 2: Anyone saying it’s her first 3 ever the shooters defender was under the basket, which means the shooter could have drove in instead of shooting a 3…….
Yoooo!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣BIG FACTS!!!!
That was her 1st 3 of the season. Figured she was no threat
@sunstatesnipr1k759 but she was initially in 2 point territory around the free-throw line. Shots that she does make
TN had possession of the ball, the 2 point lead, 3.7s on the clock, 2 FREE throws, a foul to give and no one guarding the inbounds pass. How was there no one on the player catching the inbounds pass?
Exciting ending though
Embarrassing?? That defense was NON-EXISTENT!! Something has to exist to be embarrassing!!
NOBODY and I mean NOBODY was taking the season away from these girls. Every player stepped up when their number was called.
what the actual fck was that defense?!?!
WHAT DEFENSE???
It's obvious that she is not a good three pointer shooter and they were willing to give her the shot
@l9ikjam I don't care if it's Rudy Gobert, you pick up players on the court, especially when you're not guarding the inbound. She was just standing there literally serving no purpose.
I think they wanted her to shoot it knowing she never does but leaving her THAT open is insanity 😅
@@l9ikjam It's not that she's not a good three point shooter. She actually works hard on that, and she has a pretty good midrange. It's just that that isn't her part of the game normally. As soon as she took the inbound, they should have been all up in her grill because 1.1 seconds was never going to be enough time to inbound, pass and shoot. She was the shooter - you defend the shooter -period. That was a mental breakdown on their part to not defend, and Kellie Harper even said so in her post game.
The funniest part is all the Tennessee fans celebrating early then immediately after suffer a heartbreaking loss
Umm fans celebrate throughout all parts of the game. Nothing special about it.
@@quentincampbell612 I was literally talking about one specific part of the game idiot , if you didn't understand the context why comment
@@quentincampbell612never said it was special, clearly said it was funny
that was so funnyyyyy
They fired the coach and they should have. The free throws were one thing, but the utter lack of defense was another. That was the worst coaching that could have possibly happened. Those fans should have been celebrating a win, they never expected their own coach to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. She laid out the red carpet for South Carolina.
This has me CRYING.
NEVER GIVE UP! this is a moment you will have for the rest of your life and...
No one can take it away. ❤❤🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
That was more exciting than a NBA game 😅
Well I hope a 1 and a million shot would be lmao
Yeah...I don't need to watch NBA Finals anymore...this NCAA is so exciting.
Great coaching on this play! Coach Dawn knew they weren't going to guard Cardosa. Great way to have faith in your players!! Go gamecocks
Once and for all...her name is Kamilla Cardoso.
Cardoso looking around like "you see this sht!? Aint nobody gaurding me". 🤣🤣🤣
Wow! She will remember those two missed free throws forever
No lie!
Seriously! Free throws win games.
Great coaching by SC...kept the team calm and focused.
1. DONT MISS TWO FREETHROWS THAT CAN PUT YOU UP BY 4 AND SEAL THE GAME
2. DONT FOUL WHEN YOU ARE UP BY 2 AND THERE IS ROUGHLY 3 SECONDS LEFT AND THE OTHER TEAM DOESNT HAVE A TIMEOUT AND HAS TO PUSH THE BALL
3. DONT LEAVE ANYBODY OPEN WITH A SECOND LEFT ON THE SHOT CLOCK
STOP YELLING 😮
THATS THE BEST COMMENT THAT YOU COULD THINK OF? @@joldschool64
bad coaching on all levels
I will never get tired of watching this 😊
Me either
Obviously, she was the last one Tennessee was expecting to take that shot. She was as open as Draymond Green be when he shoots a 3 pointer 😂.
Doesn’t matter. Play defense! It’s there job. Embarrassed themselves
SC coach IQ is insane knowing that that that’s the least thing Tennessee was worried about and giving her a shot a wining it Big Ws to dawn
@@Lilquan2004 Indeed!
😂😂😂 it's clutch time and you have Draymond and Giannis open for 3, whom will you give
@@fidelcastro4960Green all day😂
Wow. That took the Tennessee coach's breath away.
She needs to be fired
I thought Coach Harper was going to throw up right there on the court.
She should be fired. Not counting the person inbounding the ball, it's 5 vs 4, and they left that young lady wide open. I don't care if she's Rudy Gobert that can't make a shot to save her life. You guard everyone on the floor.
The devastating look 👀 on her face is PRICELESS.
And Job too....
Left her wide open lol
Fr even though she don’t shoot well that was stupid
It was her first 3 pt of her career lol, no one was expecting her to shoot it
No one expected her to be wide open either. Terrible coaching!! Losers lose and winners win.
@@hailmaary8616 Yea nobody expected that but it's the one thing that can beat you in that situation, you gotta at least try to guard it lol
@@hailmaary8616 Wide open for 3 tho? U can accept a 2
I cannot believe this play wasn't nominated for an Espy Award. It was a buzzer beater but it was Cardoso's first ever 3 pointer and she made the basket at a crucial time. I'm disappointed!
This is better than the NBA. 🎉😮😅
You would definitely never see that in the NBA!
How is this not over a million views?? I just now am seeing this and this is incredible! The back story behind this game, too, is amazing.
Somebody gotta find #20 lady in the crowd and see if she ok😭😭😭
Ikr. She was hugging and cheering like they already won. She forgot that everyone can shoot on SC’s team. Never leave anyone open.
I cannot see this video and not click on it to watch this over and over and over
Same here!
Watched this live as well. People were sprinting around the building. Absolutely wild!!!
Little did they know that that one three pointer would be the greatest in history
They didn't pressure the inbounds pass, nor did they contest the shot. I understand not fouling, but not moving at all is crazy. Got done bad. Great tv. I enjoyed every second.
U are absolutely right!! They left both of them wide open.
The assistant coach told the head coach to put pressure on the ball but the coach ignored her so then the assistant told the player to guard the ball and the player went to guard the inbound but then the head coach waved the player off and told her to sag so the player backed off and sagged. Bet coach regrets not listening to her assistant. She should apologize.
Stupidest crap I've ever seen.
This is why I LOVE this game and my Gamecocks...made me nervous though, but we git it done😊
Whew first the men then the lady’s my nerves today 🐔🐔
@@pamscott1321Same! Got them dubs tho! #GoCocks ❤️🏀🤙🏾
Assistant coach tried to tell her 2:00 😂
That was the infamous “Brazilian Hold my Beer” defense 🤣🤣🤣!
Uncommon Favor!!!
2:08 tell me why she just looks around like tf who gon guard me ?
Man what a shot to save the game but We gotta play better moving forward
Facts! they should not have been able to come back from 23 down.
The best teams find a way to get it done! Let's go Gamecocks!! Couldn't be happier for her.
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯
🎉
That did not just happen
She was left wide open ......
wide open
😊😊😊😊
Soooo proud of USC and Kamilla! Coach Dawn, you are amazing!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Idc if the scouter report said she has a 10% chance of making the shot. No way I’m literally not going to contest the shot at all! That was embarrassing 🥴🥴
You rite cuz .cuz a broken clock is right one time out the day
@@jeremypatterson3158 Okaay, and that night she was right.
What a moment👏🏿‼️
What kind of inbound defense this… two players not guarding anybody
Kelly Harper is a terrible coach. This team will not win until they get rid of her and hire a real coach! Harper should apologize for blowing this one
Man......I can feel that coaches pain through my screen 😂😂
I mean its her fault telling the defender to sag off and do nothing
She deserved the pain, she totally, TOTALLY jacked that up. No one guarding the inbound should have made it where they couldn't get it in so easily, that just sucked, no wonder she's done in Tennessee.
she got fired over this lol
I love how all of the haters was hollering and screaming when the shot was missed😂😂. I wished i was there to see their faces. Especially to two ladies who was celebrating and hugging 😂😂
yeah, but the mom Tammy Brown and her daughter who were hugging are legendary...that mom had two daughters that played in the NCAA tournament; one on Tennesee's team and the other for UNC
Women’s sports is getting more and more electric
How to choke in big moments 101 brought to you by #2 & #15 of the Tennessee Lady Vols.
Looks like coach told #2 Jackson to back off, but yeah they gave that game away
Tennessee can't hang their heads in this one. They were down 23 points, fought back to take the lead against the #1 team in the nation that hasn't been beaten in a very long time. SC looked horrible in the 2nd half and a lot of that was Tennessee stepping up.
@@goatcheese4meYou have to learn how to close out games. None of what you describe matters one jot if you don't close out!
That shows everyone how good SC is under pressure, even at the very end of the game. A true championship team i was pulling for them to win the championship undefeated and they did it.
Wow Congratulations South Carolina!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I have watched this sooo many times and STILL get goosebumps!
People keep talking about the coach leaving her open on the shot but the Vols player missed two free throws that would have given them a 4-point lead. Oh well, live and learn.
Moral of the day: The game is not over until it is 0.00.
Omgoodness so happy for Kamilka! After her disappointments for FIBA playing for Brazil, for her to keep calm and lock in is so huge. This is why everyone needs a coach. They see things in you that you would NEVER see.
They had Tennessee's name in flashing lights all around the arena thinking they had this win in the bag. The person operating those lights was probably like "Oh crap! Better change it to South Carolina fast!" 😅
Had Tennessee made both of their free throws, that three-pointer from SC would not have mattered.
Even still, if you guard the inbound pass, you can bother it enough to where they couldn't get a wide open set shot, Jesus Christ, that's ridiculous.
How many times have you watched this?
Me: Yes
Watched this like 20x 🔥🔥🔥🔥
South Carolina must see tv, Tennessee did a heck of a job til the end how you stop playing completely with still one second left watched her shoot the ball like she supposed to miss
Tennessee just knew they had the game and just stood there waiting on the clock but wow nobody seen that coming.
@@JaniceWilkerson-fj2tw Exactly!
Wow! March madness! Let's go ladies!
The post player for Tennessee's reaction after the ball went in is priceless and reflects how we all felt. lol A complete miracle. Congrats, Gamecocks!
What a Incredible SEC Woman’s Basketball Tournament Semifinals Instant Classic Never Disappointed Period Incredible Competitive Basketball Game Just Watched at My House
That 😮is incredible!!! From Brazil.🇧🇷
And THAT'S why practicing free throws is very important. Kids, are you listening?
The Brazilian Sensation.
That's what I'm talking about!!!! Way to go South Carolina 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
Wide open shot that’s practice
Why did they foul at mid court with 1.1 seconds to play. Let her shoot a half court shot. Kellie Harper this is on you ! You again have a chance to win but Harper chooses not to guard the inbounds and leave a shooter wide open. This is why Harper should be fired. She should apologize to her team and pack her bags!
really no reason to guard the inbound pass. Jackson should have been guarding Cardosa. No time to pass it back to the inbound player.
@@gonzoaz3979when you put a taller player on the inbounder it makes the pass way more difficult…because you can’t just throw it straight, you have to get it over outstretched hands…
No fk that. Ol girl had no business missing both of those free-throws in a pivotal game.
She said coach had her practicing...soooo..it definitely payed off...CONGRATS!!!!
This is why you neverrrrrr count out a player. Everybody on that floor counts!
Bro I just noticed at 1:55 that's what she is saying if they switch be ready and they didn't switch and they weren't ready😂😂 the pain coach
She saying stay home wym
@jordaniverson7121 that's why she's little making the switch motion while saying switch ok
It's Kellie Harper's fault TN lost. Tamari Key (TK) was initially guarding Kamilla closer and her coach told her to go "home" (under the basket) instead. You can hear it. Ridiculous.
Wonder how mad that lady celebrating all early for Tennessee was
on foenem grave. I was hoping they showed her
She was very upset, she left right after killa K hit that 3
Considering how her daughter was standing in the paint guarding nobody when she should’ve been guarding Kamilla, she is probably pissed off lol.
Wish they would've put camera back on them after that shot 😂
😂😂😂
#12 double dribbled on that rebound 1:38
I saw that.
Milaysia?
No she didnt. She didn't have full control of the ball
Why yes she did.
@@tzfrank3549she established possession with that first dribble. Then picked it up and dribbled again, textbook double dribble. Not even close.
Expected the unexpected Chess Move, knowing she wouldn't be guarded March Madness Has Offically Started 💔💥👀
"first 3 of the season!!"
Just epic!
"Never expect the unexpected"
Patrick Swayze from Roadhouse
When I saw the coach I could hear the SWA commercial “WANNA GET AWAY?”
😂
Bruh Dawn is a beast of a coach
Yes, she is!
I thought she waited too long to call a timeout. She waited until they were within 2 and completely changed her defensive scheme for Rickea in the 2nd half. Ashlynn Watkins would’ve been a better man to man match up for Rickea than Breezy IMO. I’m so happy they got the dub though.
Catch the we got this in the bag wink from the Tennessee coach 🤣
If Pat Summit was alive, she wouldn't allow THAT to happen
K. Harper should know better too. She was coached by Pat.
Prime example of celebrity too early. 😂 Dawn Stanley is a coaching genius. 💪🏾
MARCH!!! Gotta love it
Let’s go Kamilla ❤
For those judging the lax defense by Tennessee on the final play:
This player Kamilla for South Carolina is a senior who plays center and has never made a three-pointer in her entire college playing career. This shot was just her second attempted in-game 3-ball ever.
By the odds, with a 2-point lead, it was smart for Tennessee to leave the worst long-range shooter on the floor open to take a last desperate shot.
Not to compare her to Shaq (obviously), but, situationally, it's like letting Shaq take a last long shot there, instead of a Kobe. That coaching gameplan works probably 9 times out of 10.
Tonight, that 1-in-10 just fell right. Nothing you can do but shake the team's hands and accept the normally-safe bet that didn't pay off.
Hand down. Man down. I don’t care who it is. The stats don’t tell you that she practices threes and is just usually not in a position to have to shoot them during the game. They’ll never make this mistake again that’s for sure.
I like replaying this to see each reactions.
