COLUMBIA, S.C. -- With her best point guard and shooting guard out with injuries, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley knows moving the ball around is her best chance to win.
She got what she has been pressing for over the past few weeks Sunday as the No. 8 Gamecocks (22-5, 11-3 Southeastern Conference) had assists on 21 of 26 baskets in an 81-63 victory over Kentucky.
Nine of those assists went to A'ja Wilson who scored 29 points. The senior had a typically dominant game in her All-American career, shooting 9 of 16 from the field, making 11 of 12 free throws, pulling down nine rebounds and dishing out five assists in just 26 minutes.
