Kamilla Cardoso banked in her first-ever 3-pointer at the buzzer to keep No. 1 South Carolina’s perfect season alive.
Kamilla Cardoso banked in her first-ever 3-pointer at the buzzer and rescued No. 1 South Carolina's perfect season with a 74-73 victory over Tennessee at the Southeastern Conference Tournament semifinals on Saturday. The Gamecocks had blown a 23-point lead and trailed the Lady Vols 73-71 with 1.1 seconds left. But Raven Johnson's pass found an open Cardoso at the top of the key and the team's leading scorer and rebounder calmly shot it off glass and in.
The Gamecocks advance to their ninth tournament final in the past 10 seasons and will look for their eighth title in that span against either No. 8 LSU or Mississippi. Rickea Jackson finished with 22 points, 19 in the final two quarters as Tennessee fought back from 35-12 down late in the second quarter. Her putback with 25 seconds left gave the Lady Vols their first lead of the game. After Johnson missed a 3-pointer with 6 seconds left, Jasmine Powell got the rebound and was fouled.
