Palmetto Proving Grounds

South Carolina hasn't been able to put Clemson away yet. It's 49-35 with 7:40 remaining. The next couple of minutes will dictate how nervy the final few minutes will be. A little run and the Gamecocks could put this game to rest. A little run for Clemson and the last few minutes may be a little bit more tense than planned. South Carolina is 0-for-11 from the three-point line. Most of the shots haven't even been real close.

South Carolina polished off the victory without making a single shot from behind the three-point arc. The game was never really all that close but Clemson was able to keep it within shouting distance most of the way until the very end. I don't see a whole lot of women's basketball games but I doubt that Dawn Staley will be completely thrilled. Happy with the win, I'm sure, but I don't think she'll be very happy with how her team played.

Last I saw was the typo showing Clemson up 31-18 at half. I was prepared to be hugely impressed reading about a record second half comeback when I clicked on this after reading final score headline, lol.
