COLUMBIA, S.C. -- A'ja Wilson sounded like one of South Carolina's opponents breaking down the challenge they'd face in the Gamecocks.
"We're not," she said, "undersized folks."
South Carolina showed that once again with the 6-foot-5 Wilson and 6-4 Alaina Coates powering the inside game in an 81-62 victory over Mississippi on Thursday night.
Wilson had 17 points and nine rebounds while Coates had 13 points and 14 rebounds for her 10th game this season with double-figure points and rebounds. The duo were too much for the Rebels (10-10, 2-5 Southeastern Conference), who lost their seventh straight to the two-time defending SEC champs.
