JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A'ja Wilson had 19 points and 13 rebounds, her 12th double-double of the season, and No. 3 South Carolina beat 16th-ranked Mississippi State 66-52 on Sunday to win the Southeastern Conference Tournament for the second straight year.
Tiffany Mitchell added 19 points and Khadijah Session chipped in 11 for the Gamecocks (31-1), who won their ninth consecutive game since losing to three-time defending national champion and top-ranked Connecticut a month ago.
With former football coach Steve Spurrier cheering from behind the bench, South Carolina became just the fourth team in SEC history to win both regular-season and tournament titles in back-to-back seasons, joining Georgia (1983-84) and Tennessee (1999-2000, 2010-11).
