The NCAA Women's SEC Tournament wrapped up in wild fashion as the No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks and No. 2 LSU Tigers took the court in a highlight-reel thriller. In the end, South Carolina, coached by basketball legend Dawn Staley, defeated LSU, although the contest had tight turns throughout.
The Gamecocks entered the game with an undefeated record against the Tigers, led by coach Kim Mulkey, with the players leaving it all on the floor in a classic test of will. The Gamecocks got a big boost from their bench, with freshman guard Milaysia Fulwiley leading all scorers and hitting four of five 3-pointers. Aneesah Morrow led the Tigers in scoring with 19, and Angel Reese contributed 15. Hailey Van Lith and Flau'jae Johnson scored 14 and 13 respectively in a balanced game for the Tigers.
Tensions were high at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC as the nationally televised game caught the attention of basketball fans who noticed Reese getting into it with Gamecocks center Kamilla Cardoso and was seen on screen pulling hair of the player. Johnson and Cardoso also argued with Cardoso forcefully pushing Johnson to the floor and Johnson's brother trying to protect his sister.
In the wake of the game, the South Carolina Gamecocks will take their SEC Championship win into the NCAA Women's Basketball Championship Tournament. At the same time, the LSU Tigers are ready to regroup and make another run at the title.
