***2021 WBB NCAAT Elite Eight #1 Seed South Carolina vs #6 Seed Texas Game Thread***

Gamecocks make the defensive statement: they only score 10 pts in the 4th quarter, but they hold Texas to ZERO 4th Qtr. points! The Gamecocks (26-4) win the Elite Eight match-up over Texas 62-34, and advance to their third Final Four in program history!!

Five Gamecocks score in double-digits, led by Zia Cooke with 16 points on 7-15 shooting, with 6 rebounds and 3 assists. Victaria Saxton added 12 pts on 6-8 shooting, with 8 rebounds, and Destanni Henderson added 12 pts as well, on 4-9 shooting, with 7 assists. Aliyah Boston only shot 2-11 from the field but was 6-6 at the line and scored 10 pts along with 8 boards, 2 blocks and 2 steals. And Laeticia Amihere, after doing little to nothing in the 1st half except picking up 2 fouls, scored all 10 of her points in the 2nd half on 5-8 shooting, with 8 rebounds and 8 blocks!!

Warren led the Longhorns with 13 pts on 5-8 shooting, with 5 rebounds. Charli Collier struggled all game, ending with 4 pts on 2-10 shooting, with 4 rebounds and 3 blocks.....

 
It seemed like they didn't take Amihere seriously and she just made 'em look stupid with the back door cuts and the blocks in the fourth quarter.

Great win! Before the tournament started I thought we were an elite 8 team at best. Look who proved me wrong...I hope we make it the whole way!

 
Amazing 4th QTR and nice to see the team back in the Final 4.  Stanford will be a test, but I think they can be beaten.

 
From the SI vault.  People forget...

The fact is that both players are integral to South Carolina's quest to unseat heavily favored Louisiana Tech as the national champions of the women's game. Evelyn, the 20-year-old kid sister of the Los Angeles Lakers' Earvin Johnson, has been a do-it-all player for the Lady Gamecocks the past two seasons, while Dixon, the outstanding player in this summer's National Sports Festival in Syracuse and herself a member of an athletically gifted family, is the nation's finest freshman. Despite their differences, a common thread binds their games. Both are formidable open-court ball handlers and passers; each has a deadly outside shot. And both have the capacity to transform a mundane pass or move into an action that can galvanize a crowd. "Medina is a performer and Evelyn is, too," says Pam Parsons, the flamboyant coach of the Lady Gamecocks. "But Evelyn has had to reach the point where she feels comfortable enough to perform in games as well as in practice. I don't think Evelyn believed she could ever do the things Magic Johnson's sister was expected to do."
