South Carolina’s latest updates: No. 1 South Carolina routs Kentucky to complete regular-season sweep of Wildcats

No. 1 South Carolina dominated Kentucky Sunday afternoon, completing a regular-season sweep of the Wildcats, 103-55.

The victory made USC the SEC’s outright regular-season champion. It also marked the Gamecocks’ sixth 100-point game of the season and first since December.

“This team really surprises me every day, every time that we play a game,” coach Dawn Staley said, reflecting on her team’s undefeated record as the postseason looms.

“They have something about them, a competitiveness in them that they don’t want to lose. And they find ways to win no matter no matter how teams are approaching us.

“…We’re a really good basketball team when we’re playing like we played today. …We want to give our players their flowers, but we also know that there’s work to do.”

South Carolina started guards Te-Hina Paopao, Bree Hall and Raven Johnson, and forwards Chloe Kitts and Ashlyn Watkins. Starting center Kamilla Cardoso did not play for the second game in a row after sitting out Thursday against Alabama to rest.

“However she’s feeling, if she’s not close to 80-90%, we’ll sit her down for another game,” Staley said after the Alabama game.

“But I know she wants to play.” Six Gamecocks finished with double-digit points Sunday: MiLaysia Fulwiley (17), Watkins (13), Paopao (11), Hall (18), Sania Feagin (career-high 16), and Kitts (10 along with 12 rebounds for her fourth double-double this season).

Feagin also recorded a career-high five blocks. The Gamecocks (27-0, 14-0 SEC) will travel to Fayetteville, Arkansas on Thursday (9 p.m., SEC Network) to take on the Razorbacks for USC’s second-to-last regular-season game.
