Women’s basketball withdraws from A’JA Wilson T -shirt, defeating Auburn 83-66 – Rivals.com – South Carolina

Would you expect something else on the day Gamecocks honors the largest player in program history?

Women’s Basketball in South Carolina retires A’JA Wilson’s Jersey Ribs in a ceremony before playing with their family and Dawn Staley On the court and continued to take up an opposite 83-66 in his first game against an unsurpassed opponent for more than three weeks.

It was the day of the Chamber of Commerce at the Colonial Life Arena, a sale, announced months in advance with the participation of many former Gamecock teammates of Wilson, current professional and people from all over the women’s basketball landscape of South Carolina. Each media time, Aut, included some tribute to Wilson, or an accent, a package of her play days, replaying her commitment ceremony, or just people talking about her.

The basketball game itself was laterally for the greatness of the day, an understandable break from grinding a season to celebrate a local legend. But this team had a business to descend between Montages and Pageantry and it was a difficult sled in the third quarter.

The Auburn team (11-1, 2-7 secs), which was fighting through the conference schedule, had a # 2 team in the nation closed in a game with one possession in the second half, mostly thanks to sensational sensational Deyona Gaston performance. The senior attacker of Pran dropped by 31 points with an effective 22 shots, a problem for the defense of South Carolina (21-1, 9-0 seconds) all day.

On a rare day, the defense of South Carolina could not hold an opponent under 60 points, the crime being more than compensating. The shooting performance saw that Gamecocks made seven of their last eight attempts in the first quarter and fired at 57.1 percent in the game, and one specific section completely removed the game out of reach.

After the tigers trimmed the front to three, South Carolina knocked 13 of their next 17 shots from the field and made 10 to 11 free strokes in the process, expanding the lead, and at first glance it could hit anywhere. Joyce Edwards and Chlo Kits were almost automatic in another seats with combined 31 points, Milaysia Fulvieli He scored 17 of his own and Bree Hall I demolished two 3-calling during running as a solid bit, but an insufficiently equipped Auburn team could not stop the pressure.

South Carolina has turned early fluctuations into the fourth quarter with a garbage time, a refreshing change for a team that has been coming out of five consecutive games against ranked opponents. Gamecocks will receive another opportunity against a team in the bottom layer of SEC on Thursday in Georgia before returning to the Showdown glove on next Sunday in Texas.
