I'm a SC fan and I want to offer big kudos to the Lady Vols. They are the team this season that challenged SC the most. They're a tough and talented team - looking forward to watching them in the NCAA tournament.

Exactly!!! The grit, determination, and perseverence the Lady Vols showed was palpable!! To crawl from a +20pt deficit and getting it within a single point against the #1 team in the nation is crazy. You couldn't tell me that SC wasn't about to run away with that game looking at the 1st half. Tbh, I stopped watching it bc I thought it was going to be a blowout by SC. I randomly decided to check to score to see the score, expecting SC margin of victory to be by +20pt or more, to find out that the Vols were up by 2pt. I was like, "Oh, Shit!!" Wtbs, that cluch play by Cardoso was crazy!!

- Two missed freethrows - Fulwiley grabs the rebound, then double dribbles (missed called by refs, no biggie). - You foul the player who would've had to heave it from half court. - 1.1 isn’t enough time for a catch and pass so Why is Jackson standing mindlessly at center field instead of trying to make any inbound pass difficult? - Then you leave a player wide open on the 3 point line who has a better chance at making it than Fulwiley’s potential game winning heave from half court. *Sometimes luck is involved, sometimes it's just bad decision-making as a player. I honestly thought Coach Harper was hyperventilating when that shot went in at the buzzer.* I like both teams! Great win SC, Great game Tenn!

It hurts to come from 23 down and about to win and lost in 1.1 seconds. Forget Cardoso shot. They could have sealed it at the free-throw line. Even then Cardoso 3 wouldn't have matter. Even if Tennessee would have made one free-throw. They still had a chance to win in overtime. That is why they are crying. They knew they had it and let it got away with one simple mistake. Coach Dawn Staley capitalized on it by having faith in her players. No one would have ever thought she would make a call to put the game on the line in Cardoso hands. It worked. You have to also give her credit. She made Tennessee pay for their own mistake. She knew she was beat until they gave her another chance. Tennessee had a foul to give I would have fouled another player. Game over. Tennessee is recognizing it now and it is too late. They are mad with themselves.

I’m all for my Gamecocks winning this game but the Lady Vols gave them a wake up call. The Lady Vols played one hell of a game and they should pat themselves on the back. The problem is that the coach and the team didn’t expect Kamilla to shoot that 3 pointer. This is a lesson to be learned and anything is possible. That’s was Kamilla’s first 3 pointer in a game with the Gamecocks from my understanding. Never underestimate your opponents. Anything is possible.

Tennessee coach is exactly right, in that time remaining situation, every player is a shooter. I’m sure her statement is a afterthought and only if she could have thought of that before,then i think she would have set a man on man defense or (woman on woman) for those who push the gender narrative. I enjoyed the game tremendously and I am really enjoying women basketball now whereas before I didn’t. I’m not a fan of either team, I’m a Carolina Tarheels fan and I wish my team had this kind of fight and talent of players and coaches at this level. Congratulations to both teams.

they took away five out of the six options that you could’ve ran at the end of the game with 1.1 seconds remaining. Lob to the other side of the basket hitting the post on the strong side, passing to someone at the elbow, someone curling to the corner, and a return pass to the inbounder. they played that perfectly. I personally would have said if you had told me that if we were able to take away the top five options in that situation and the shots they’re going to get is a senior who is never taken a three or made a three I take that 100 out of 100 times.

Jacskon was WNBA ready last year so I thank her for being a Vol cause i dont know why she still there, lol. Great job Kellie. I apologize for not trusting the process.

I just love the way Rickea comforted her coach before leaving. Harper shouldn’t beat herself up for this. It was honestly her best coaching performance this season, against the No.1 team in the country. Tennessee isn’t ranked by AP and has played the hardest schedule this season. Shes a young coach in a conference with HoF coaches Mulkey and Staley. She’ll bounce back from this
