Before No. 5 South Carolina women’s basketball even took the court to play Western Carolina on Thursday, the biggest news of the night had dropped: redshirt senior guard Lindsey Spann would miss the contest with a sprained knee.
Spann’s injury, left the Gamecocks (7-1) with just four guards and nine healthy and available players on their roster. So it was hardly surprising that when USC did face the Catamounts, it was their post players who did most of the heavy lifting on offense en route to a 101-43 win, their first time above the century mark this regular season.
