@DCAtGCKCentral: Ref calls a moving screen on UK immediately after the guy behind me screamed it for the fourth time. #CrowdStrength

Even better. I can't get down for a lot of games anymore. Stanford was the first one I'd been to since Tennessee a few years ago. $7 is a heck of a deal to see them. They leave every bit of it our there

BTW, Sessions has been money the last 2 games. We don't beat Florida or Kentucky without her. She starter that final run that we pulled away on.

I'm so glad that someone else noticed that my yelling made a difference. I'm a rebel with a cause

Aren't you the one that was yelling at Andy at a baseball game last year? (Yes my memory is a steel trap)

Yea, and right after I yelled at him someone hit a 3 run bomb for us. I remember that I could hear myself on the video replay

[Luke Skycocker]

I do what I can

great game, atmosphere was good too. One of the best games I have been to, too bad my mom missed it because she is out of town.

Were you in the student section. We sat behind the team about 5 rows from the top of the lower deck. There was a guy behind us losing his mind the whole time.

Great game , , great team effort congratulations ladies. Woowee.

[carolinafan111]

a great game. we still can't make free throws and lay ups, but our team fought all the way through and got a great win. I couldn't be more proud!

What an awesome pair of bookends for a basketball junkie's life, everyone!

On the front-end was a 72-70 upset win over #3 Duke in McGuire's second year at USC in the old Carolina Fieldhouse. I was a student in the stands that nite as a sophomore-dominated team led by passing wizard Jackie Thompson gave South Carolina a tantalizing glimpse of the glory days to come.

Tonite, 48 years later, I saw Staley's Lady G's give us another glimpse of glory days to come as they sent #5 Kentucky down to defeat with 40 minutes of defensive hell.

And what makes those two games perfect bookends was the effort displayed by those two teams. Both times I saw Gamecock hearts everywhere I looked.

You're right, Coach. We back. And this is just the beginning of 'forty minutes of hell' basketball at USC.

Dawn is just now starting to get top recruits in the numbers necessary to compete for final fours. I don't think we have the quality depth to make the final four this year, but by the time Aleighsa Welch graduates I think we will see a final four. I like the progress Elem Ibiam is starting to make and I hope Wilka Montout will soon turn the corner, also.

[Travelin]

Congrats to the ladies on the big win.

[Cocklover]

Absolutely wonderful win!!! So fun to watch!

Luke, that was you I heard on TV screaming? hahahaha...too funny

Interestingly enough, Montout may suffer from the same problem that plagued the game's greatest player. I once heard Coach McGwire say that the Gentle Giant's sheer love of playing the game was what allowed Wilt to become an intimidating presence on the court. Wilt hated sitting on the bench. The year Frank coached Chamberlain to the greatest season any player ever had in the history of the game, he played Wilt every second of every game.
