At times Tuesday night, it felt as though it was just A’ja Wilson, not No. 5 South Carolina, vs. College of Charleston, as the rest of the Gamecocks struggled to generate any sort of offensive rhythm, especially in the early going.
As it turned out, Wilson was almost enough, as she nearly outscored the Cougars all by herself through three quarters and USC (9-1) posted a 69-43 victory in its final game before players break for final exams.
The lopsided score, however, does not fully account for the ugly, sloppy contest that unfolded for most of the night at Colonial Life Arena.
