No. 1 South Carolina downs No. 5 UConn, 81-77

Ever since Dawn Staley took the job as head coach at South Carolina, the team has accomplished many things. They have hung banners, won the conference (numerous times) and have been the hunted as opposed to the hunter more often than not.

One of the only things the Gamecocks had left to do was defeat the Huskies in Hartford.

USC finally got to cross that off its list on Sunday.

Top-ranked South Carolina (23-0, 10-0) defeated the fifth-ranked Connecticut Huskies (21-3, 13-0) in Connecticut by the score of 81-77.

It was also the fourth time in the last five occasions where the Gamecocks emerged victorious over the Huskies.
