Jan. 05, 2023
On Thursday the Gamecocks secured a convincing victory against Auburn at Colonial Life Arena, beating the Tigers 94-42. South Carolina (15-0, 3-0 SEC) scored less than five seconds into the game, as Aliyah Boston passed it to Zia Cooke for the driving layup after the opening tip.
The team got out to a 14-4 start by the first media timeout and didn’t let up after that. Carolina led 52-20 at the half, the third time it scored 50 or more points in the first half. The team managed to get out in transition throughout the game and convert on layup attempts. In the halfcourt offense, Auburn (10-5, 0-3 SEC) had no answers for the Gamecocks’ ability to get inside. South Carolina got easy looks in the paint, scoring 50 points from there on Thursday. Four players scored in double figures for Carolina.
