Gamecocks women’s basketball complete perfect regular season | GC Minute: Mon. 2/27/23

It’s hard to imagine that with all the success South Carolina women’s basketball has had in recent years that they’re still accomplishing firsts. Well, on Sunday the Gamecocks did just that completing their first perfect regular season in program history. 

Behind a 25-point, 11 rebound double double performance from Aaliyah Boston, USC made sure that their SEC regular season crown would not be shared with LSU rolling past Georgia 73-63. Get this, the Gamecocks hasn’t loss a game at home in 816 days.
