No. 1 South Carolina comes back to defeat No. 2 Stanford in second Nos. 1 vs. 2 matchup of season

No. 1 South Carolina remains undefeated after it once again defended its ranking against a No. 2 team in the country.

The Gamecocks came back from 18 points down and completed the largest comeback victory in program history to down reigning champion Stanford, 65-61. It was their fifth victory against a top-10 ranked team this season and they are the first team since Baylor in 2011-12 to multiple regular season Nos. 1 vs. 2 games, per ESPN.

National player of the year contender Aliyah Boston made a layup on an assist by Destanni Henderson, who returned after missing three games with a leg injury, to give the Gamecocks the 61-60 lead with 1:07 to play.
