Turnovers proved decisive, with the Gamecocks converting Texas mistakes to close out a tight game in Columbia.

Overview

  • Raven Johnson scored six of her 10 points in the fourth quarter, including two late baskets that preserved the lead after Madina Okot’s go-ahead 3-pointer with 3:32 left.
  • Texas finished with 22 turnovers to South Carolina’s 20, and the Gamecocks turned those miscues into a 23–15 edge in points off turnovers.
