COLUMBIA, S.C. -- With half of its twin tower frontcourt out for the NCAA Tournament, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley is trying out some different lineups.
Almost everything she tried worked Friday as the top-seeded Gamecocks (28-4) beat No. 16 seed UNC Asheville 90-40 in their biggest victory ever in the NCAA Tournament.
Staley started four guards to join Naismith national player of the year finalist A'ja Wilson. And one of those guards came up big, with Allisha Gray scoring 22 points and pulling down a career high 12 rebounds. All but one of her 11 baskets came inside the paint.
