As a diehard fan, you should have serious concerns. That was a terribly sloppy/tight 4th Q even for an average team...not the kind of play you want to see from the #1 team in the nation.
This the best thing could have happened to them get humble NOW when you go into the tournament you'll know where your weakness are. Still got y'all winning the whole thing HANDS DOWN
Listen to Howards interviews she has wnba on her mind too much and thinking she's gonna be the number one pick .in which shes not i.ll bet u shes gonna drop she.ll be top ten but not too five bet on it she has lazy tendencies
Boston doesn’t guard those type of players well one one. She normally catches that type of player after they’ve Already made there moves and passed initial defense. Edwards can really move and hit the 3 consistently
@@igotta_storytosell3777 ..thats why I think the next time SC plays Uconn ...with a healthy Beuckers and Fudd, they haveba very good chance of beating them.
I checked the score before I jumped in the pool and was sure the game was over. - my jaw dropped when I saw they pulled it out. Great job Cats! Great season also to the Gamecocks - they are indeed a contender.
10 straight! The team is playing to their strengths now and the chemistry is there. The 2nd quarter was a disgrace to the game itself, but the 2nd half was solid. C-A-T-S, Cats, Cats, Cats!
That’s what I’m saying. Kentucky has been on the roll with the wins. People think KY had no chance to pull it through. I am a die hard SC fan just minutes away from the arena but the way Kentucky played today was remarkable! Kudos to Kentucky!
Congratulations to the lady wildcats and coach Kyra Elzy. I remember her playing days with the Bols at Hyper. Hopefully the sting of this loss will stick with them & help them to stay focus & play their best ball. Remembering that every team has a weakness and any team can be beaten any given night. Hopefully this will be our last loss of the season so our lady Gamecocks will be tearing down the final nets of the season.
@@GamecockSteve Womens basketball is more competitive than it used to be. But I do think the Gamecocks have a great chance to win. I think the two top teams in each power 5 conference has a legitimate chance of winning so I feel that we have a great chance.
@@GamecockSteve Carolina definitely has a chance. They're just as good/as much of a threat as Kentucky. Unfortunately, it came down to missed free throws.
@@AroundTheWayGirl88 Yes, that’s definitely our Achilles heel. That or poor 3pt shooting against the wrong team in the tournament could be problematic. Hoping our strengths outway any negative performance in that regard.
@@Okayyouwin UConn has a great winning tradition, unfortunately YES I'm SICK of them too, I'm a Tennessee Vols fan, sadly we lost the world's GREATEST coach in Womens College Basketball, Pat Summit, who also had a winning tradition until she was force to retire due to her illness. With all DUE respect to Coach Gino, I would LOVE to see , would UConn win at the pace they has under a NEW coach, Tennessee aren't doing bad with Kelly Harper but look at the struggles they have gone through since the years of coach Summit. .
@@jeffk4710 ALREADY, lol, They are just TOO damn good, especially when they are clicking on all cylinders. Not to mention they recruit ALL the good high school players. I'm just hating on them now. I'm even MORE tired of South Carolina, .. Com' on TENNESSEE ! wishful thinking lol.
SC number4 traveled and fouled but no calls. thats why it puts a smile on my face when they choked on free throws lmao. and Cats busted a 3 to win i laught my ass off.
@@joldschool64 They may have their minds there, but they still gotta go over film. When they did they will see that Boston did travel under the basket more than once. No shade. Just is what it is. It's no different than how some guards get away with pushing off. On that one play though, I know the red saw her travel and maybe even be in the lane longer than she should have been.
Wow! Wildcats Edward played above herself compare to last meeting. Wildcats are on roll and caught lighting in a bottle during tournament. Gamecocks are still my favorite.
Great game big game shot by Edwards these ladies was spectacular they never gave up when S C had the big lead congrats Ladies yall left it all on the floor
No it's not! It takes the right combination of players AND coaches. I put emphasis on that coach part too. There's a rapport that needs to exist between players and coaches on and off the coach that a lot of teams don't have. Can't describe it in words, but shows in gameplay and style. That applies at all levels.
I'm gonna get blowback from SC fans about this but I'm just being objective . And I'm a South Carolina fan but any coach would love to have the luxury that Staley has .she has about 9 players deep use them! Littleton. Russell . Hall and others are all capable scorers and defenders ..Rick Pitino used to rotate like that it could be done ! It would make it hard to scout ..heck now the other teams scouting report is just saying Boston and Boston and Boston .it can't be about her all the time too much forced play!! And please someone show cordosa how to take a short range shot! Or a jump hook or something ! Shes open too much in the paint .and I've been saying this for awhile it's gonna be a ton of upsets this tournament it's too many good players on good teams that are not in the media and that is not scared of the name on your chest so get ur popcorn ready !
Cook turns the ball over too much not a good ball handler and LA she made some bad shot selection .SC play better when they have a big lead they panic when the game is close.
@@joldschool64 I'm a cook fan shes from my hometown and I agree but they all turn the ball over due to forced play why in the heck if u have a open look in the paint or a ten or fifteen footer why not take the shot dang ur a basketball player u didn't get to this level by not taking a pull up mid range jumper at some point .but instead they drive to the hoop in traffic to force play either get it blocked or get it stolen and all whose gonna respond and say they are trying to get to the free throw line I suggest u look up sc free throw percentage as a team
@@anthonytaylor7928 I agree, I'm a South Carolina fan, but I don't think they can win the NCAA championship playing the way they play. They will lose to smart teams like Stanford and Connecticut. The backcourt is too small. Coach Staley mentioned during the game that the team plays too fast for their skill level. They need to try to develop Cardoso as quickly as possible. They need to give her the ball. Over penetration, turnovers, shot selection is killing them. Cook needs to let the game come to her. She needs to realize that Boston is the go to player. Its good to see Beale and Saxton step up more offensively. I don't know why Littleton and LeLe aren't playing more. Hall can play and Russell looks good when she gets to play. If they play the Huskies, they need LeLe to cover Paige.
Dear boys & girls, free throws are always an important part of the game. You see what happens when do don't make them? Anyway, this is why they play the games. What a way to earn an NCAA bid by beating the best team in the land. Congrats Big Blue nation!
Tough loss … this one will sting. I hope they can close some gaps they have going into the tourney: turnovers, finishing at the hoop and need to get the ball underneath to Boston. I will be rooting for them!
Great call by the broadcaster. Blanking on her name, but love the enthusiasm and passion for the sport in her voice. Also, don't worry SC fans, y'all gonna win this whole thing cuz Dawn Staley and Aaliah Boston are gonna ensure that they don't repeat last year. THEY ARE WINNING IT ALL.
At least they scored some baskets in the 4th qtr of this game, well at the start of, last game no basket in the forth qtr. so here we go the big dance time. The last game of the year is only game that really counts anyway, so Kentucky beating #2, #3 and #1 seeds plus Mississippi state in four days congratulations they earned SEC Tournament Championship, but like I said on to the big dance for us.
I think the Championship is going to be an upset by one of the teams that has a 3 point threat, because South Carolina isn't a 3 point shooting team, and I think its going to be like last year, no one expected Arizona to be in the Championship game, I don't Carolina is going to pull it off.
You dont ever EVER play a team 3 times. This team should have beaten South C because they literally played them 3 times. There's no way u beat a team 3 times in one season. Just not going to happen esp if the coach is smart and the team is already good.
I'm not a Cat fan. But if you can't feel for a team that's waited 40 years for another championship of any kind...well, you're just a heartless bastard.
@@C2DP27 Net-sharing is a tradition that's been going on for a while now. I definitely didn't see it as arrogant. Especially when she sent it to other Black female coaches across the league. Her win was definitely a win for them too. Some won't understand that though.
Idk. Kentucky may have pulled it out in OT. We’ll never know. Fantastic game between the two, however. The game was great for WBB in that we need more parody in the sport. Games have become blowouts too often, and this game was a thriller!
OK! Each conference has their tournament. This was the S.E.C. tournament and all teams play until we have a winner. In this case it is Kentucky! Now, it's time for the women's national tournament. They pick the best teams and they play and advance until they have a winner. South Carolina is in and should win it all! The final 4 happens when there are 4 teams are left. Good luck!
No one’s talking about how South Carolina went scoreless the last 5 mins of the game. Smh your the number 1 seed that’s pathetic and they deserved to lose, congrats to Kentucky

There are a couple teams out there that SC will have match up problems with. One on each coast.

Holy cow. What an awesome win for Kentucky. So happy for them. Gotta love a team that won't quit, despite the odds. 💯
Yo, the end of the game call was low-key lit by them lady commentators. They did a hell of a job

does anyone notice that boston creates space by travelling but no calls. also she should have had several offensive fouls also
nah. mostly pump fakes and utilizing her upper body strength. not gonna say she nvr travels, but everyone travels a lil bit
She never move her pivot foot.
Lmao “fouls”. Players flopping because they can’t stop her ≠ foul.
She does travel at times.
@@Mdmeskywlkr007 Nope, you have to watch her feet after she picks up her dribble.
