South Carolina women’s basketball cleansed its palate on Thursday night, washing out memories of its first loss of the year against Notre Dame with images of complete and total domination over Western Carolina, a 101-43 drubbing.
The numbers from the Western Carolina win are positively gaudy: It was South Carolina’s biggest margin of victory since December 2014. The 66 points in the paint were the Gamecocks’ most since November 2013. The 58.2 percent shooting mark was the best of the season so far. Even without injured redshirt senior Lindsey Spann, five players scored in double figures.
