(1) South Carolina vs (2) LSU | 2024 SEC Tournament: Championship | 3.10.24
GREENVILLE, S.C. - March 10th, 2024
No. 1/1 South Carolina won its eighth SEC Tournament championship in the last 10 seasons, and its second in a row with a 79-72 win over No. 8/5 LSU Sunday afternoon at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. The Gamecocks got a career-high 24 points from freshman MiLaysia Fulwiley, who earned tournament MVP honors for her effort in the Gamecocks’ title run.
Fulwiley hit a pair of 3s in a 24-11 South Carolina run across the first and second quarters that put South Carolina up for good. The game remained close throughout, but the Gamecocks managed to inch further ahead with each quarter.
The Tigers sliced a 13-point deficit to one on Flau’jae Johnson’s free throws with 4:36 left to play. The Gamecocks’ Raven Johnson answered with a bucket, and ever-steady Bree Hall added two more to stretch the advantage.
South Carolina held a 73-66 lead with just over two minutes to play when an intentional foul by Johnson following a steal by Fulwiley sparked tempers on both sides, after which the Tigers were left with five players and the Gamecocks six to finish out the game.
LSU got within five, but the Gamecocks closed out the game being strong on the boards and solid free throw shooting from Sania Feagin and Fulwiley.
Gamecock Notables
MiLaysia Fulwiley became the first Gamecock freshman to be named SEC Tournament MVP following her team-high 14.3 points per game on 48.3 percent shooting, including 4-of-6 from 3-point range, over South Carolina’s three wins.
Kamilla Cardoso joined Fulwiley on the SEC All-Tournament Team. The senior added 12.7 points and 5.7 rebounds per game over the tournament, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer that delivered South Carolina’s semifinal win over Tennessee.
Staley’s eight SEC Tournament titles puts her second in league history behind Tennessee’s Pat Summitt.
At South Carolina, Staley is 15-2 in postseason games when a trophy is on the line - 8-1 in SEC Tournament, 5-1 in NCAA Regional Finals, 2-0 in NCAA Championship games.
Ashlyn Watkins added five blocks in the title game, including three in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory.
And we really missed our PG Poa. I wish her a quick recovery
Me too 😢
Good game. LSU fan. These two teams need to be on opposite sides of the bracket. I'm still waiting for a decent officiating crew when these two play.
LSU ain't makin it to final 4. They lack to many things mental toughness and depth bein da biggest. Officiating wont change da outcome. SC got their number and it's 0-16 in da last 16 games no rivalry here 💯
Angel, Even without Aliyah Boston you are not good enough to beat SC. You should send thank you cards to Caitlin Clark, to Lisa Bluder and to the rest of The Iowa Team for paving the way for you to "win" your ring.
Refs were terrible.
Bro u ain’t the only one who noticed
@@Chosen17A im blind, im deaf, i wanna be a ref lmao!! ( its a saying my team always says)
@@MiyaAndersch yeah I heard that saying before, 🤦
That's what LOSERS sat all the time. LADY GAMECOCKS 38-0 2024 National Champions 🏆
Not Reese pulling hair and elbow 😮😂
ANGEL does that stuff all the time and does not get caught. She pulls hair, jersey and Coach Kim seems to encourage this. That's how Angel gets a lot of her rebounds. Angel plays dirty a lot and does not need to because she is a very good player.
@@rwalker41 Kamila Cardoso too. Kamila is slick with her shit. They never show what Kamila does, but they show Angel's retaliation. Angel should've pulled her hair harder... Angel had a sore ankle so that wasn't the end!
@@carlosdossantos917 Angel plays dirty and talks junk all the time she is the instigator just look at the tape.
Angel is a mess, period. That whole team makes me cringe.
@@JordanDiddyso then why did you watch this video? You hate LSU so much yet you still watched them, why? Nobody told you to watch them, you chose to. They clearly don’t make you cringe that much if you decided to watch them play.
South Carolina coach is the best in college basketball I would like to say this to South Carolina actions speak louder than words good game
SC got beat by Iowa last year, and that was with Aliyah Boston.
LSU threw more elbows than a dirty MMA fighter.
While I totally disapprove of what Kamilla did I think those elbows and shots to face built up and she responded to Johnson shoving Watkins. I Iike F. Johnson but she should have Been ejected also. Kim Mulkey made in my opinion a terrible statement saying she wish she would have done that to Angel which says she encourages this type of behavior. I am not a fan of coach K coaching style.
So did South Carolina
@@rwalker41So you didn’t see Kamilla pushing and shoving other players with no foul?? Cardoso just proved how aggressive of a person she is. She’s been thrown out of two games within a month because she can’t control her emotions
@@rwalker41were you not watching when Kamilla pushed Flau’jae super hard? Yes Flau’jae started it but her emotions just got the best of her, she needed to blow off some steam and in the moment she pushed that girl, but it wasn’t with ill intentions….Also, Dawn Staley made an announcement that Flau’jae apologized to her directly. Now Kamilla on the other hand, she 100% intentionally pushed Flau’jae to hurt her. Understandably she was trying to stick up for her teammate, but she did not have to do all of that to Flau’jae she could’ve easily have told her not to do that. Mulkey only said what she said because she’s right in a way….nobody as big as Kamilla should be pushing anyone as small as Flau’jae, she only said “I wish she would’ve pushed Angel” because if Angel hadn’t rolled her ankle the night before, and Kamilla pushed her…..it would’ve been a wrap for sure.
@@michaelt8161ooo u must be a lsu fan real bad lolll cuz u can’t see the problem on lsu’s side they taunt every team sc is humble and do nothing and the ONEEE time they retaliate back they wrong goodnight plz.😂😂😂
Lsu we have to work on how to stop 3 pointers because in SC game we allowed them to make a lot of 3's
Flaj commits 2 intentionals on one play and refs still let her finish game what were they watching
LSU is No.3 seed for good reason. They are athletic but somewhat raw in fundamentals.
Flaujae braced herself. Watkins was walking in her direction on purpose, Watkins didn't try to move out of the way either, Watkins fully tensed up and flexing walked right into Flaujae with intentions to bump her. So flaujae braced herself for the impact, she didn't put hands up and push watkins ..
Look at tape Johnson pushed her and because Johnson is a classy player she apologized to Dawn stating that's not who she is. Please don't overlook what Johnson did
For real it's like people are trying to make Watkins and Hall innocent
@rwalker41 I did watch the video. Flaujae turned around, seen watkins walking up and she braced herself. Watkins clearly could've walked around Flaujae but she didn't, She walked towards her with intentions to bump her or have her move out of the way. Flaujae never attempted to push anyone. That requires a person to have their hands in a pushing motion.
@@BillsSwavo Wow you must have had blinders on when you watch that Johnson pushed Watkins it was not an attempt to get out of her way
@rwalker41 Wow you obviously didn't read properly or comprehend what you're reading. Try again, maybe?
LSU will play dirty if given space. You see several players throwing elbows, and inciting anger. It's really the crazy coaches fault.
Look on Mikayla face at 9:10 wen Angel threw dat elbow at Kamila says it all.
They put up a very gud game
LSU bad teamwork,too many turnover. so disappointed.
All season that has been their issue they lost all close games bec of the turnovers and poor shot selection at times.
Congratulations to our girls
In my personal opinion,I believe LSU can beat them but as of right now they don’t have a very strong team yet and especially a strong bench,I will finish off this year,Angel staying,and working for next year,I don’t think Van is a good fit,Williams is good but needs some growth,Del needs to go and they need another strong center
honestly i feel like sc hasn’t scratched the surface of how good they are yet and that’s scary sc can only beat themselves i really don’t see lsu knocking them off idk who cannn…
@@itstrinidi2589I Agree Plus We Always In Foul Trouble When Playing Them & Still Win So Imagine. And We Didn’t Rebound The Ball They Really Don’t Understand How Good We Actually Are & Its Takes A lot To Be #1 With All The Teams Gunning For Us
Reese kinda dirty
Kinda is putting it mildly especially when she up against some one who batting with her
How did SC cheat or how did the refs cheat? LSU threw multiple elbows, pulling hair and all this other shit. They play dirty then whine about the calls. They were outplayed and out coached, plain and simple. HVL does not fit in their system at all. Reese talks way too much then bitches about calls. She can be a dominant center for tho
Yea South Carolina ain’t do shit they was just perfect little saints that never got the whistle blown on them……
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️🏀🤙🏾🤙🏾
Gangsta team beaten. That made my day...
Because she knows how to cool the game
I would of been on the floor and throwed put the game immediately she knew not to push angel Reese period
ACC title game next I hope
Working on it next. Just finished editing the Pac-12 title game
Camilla? Nah that’s Camillo
LSU need to be more confident when trying to take a shoot the ball
FlAujae's brother is innocent, just trying to take care of his sister ❤
Nope. Not innocent. Which is why he was arrested and charged.
@@helenoftroy1227Actually no he wasn't. He was just escorted out of the building. The New York Post reported.
You don't put your hands on young ladies young man.....go find a young man😅
Play hard ball Carolina ballers & LSU what these women signed up for let's keep it real on both sides Carolina got this game Congrats! on the win Carolina you earned it!
Smh the past two National Champions March 1O - May 1O The CHI
I'd watch if they didn't ruin it by making it 4 quarters instead of 2 halves. Ruins the atmosphere.
Reese us dirty to the bone,but she is a good looking young lady.
LSU we need to work on turnovers because they cost us
Chippy game eh?
Thugs and dykes vs LSU... and the refs favored the bar fighters/ thugs/ dykes over LSU
@@carlosdossantos917exactly SC has BIG money behind there team if we being honest SC should have lost at least 2 games this season refs blatantly ignored fouls they should have intervened before it even got that far but drama sells i guess the more viewers the better
@@Maris-393 The comments of the person I responded to referred to the S. Carolina women's basektball players as thugs and dykes. Those comments have since been removed. Therefore, you should have left your comment at "whose name calling?"
@@Maris-393 You missed the name calling. That person's response was deleted since it was inappropriate so I have now deleted my response.
@@SeshatPG82 oh damn my bad homie!!!
i love LSU don’t get me wrong… but aliayah…. the way she carry herself as a 6’6 post player, i don’t like it.. she plays like she THE IT GIRL, but really not physical enough..
From a basketball perspective Hailey Van lith has been a huge disappointment to this team. They hyped her up like she was a game changer and she’s the complete opposite and Mikayla has been very bad too but she’s a freshman so she gets a pass!💯
Give Mikaylah time...as in a couple weeks! Breanna Stewart (the great Breanna Stewart played a sub par game against Baylor when she was a freshman during the ref season. All she did was come of age and dominated the playoffs. Mikaylah has yet to put It all together, but remember what Jaz did last year. Hailey will be alright too. LSU needs to do PG by committee. Let Poabe your default Point Guard but outside of that... let Flau'Jae, Mikaylah , Angel, Aneesah and Angel all bring the ball up at different times. LSU has a versatile team
It is disappointing. She is predominantly a shooting guard, don't think she has the ability/capacity to do anything beyond that. I noticed she gets frustrated, confused and all out of sorts, if she has to strategize or think and shoot. So, without Poa, there is a deficiency 😞🙏!
Meanwhile for the past few games she’s been on fire and carries this tens to that last couple of victories.
LSU fans stay making excuses 🤣. Whatever coping mechanism works I guess 🤷🏾♂️
South Carolina Reformatory vs LSU
the LSU Thugs . . .
This is the one game that has truly shown me the amount of genuine hatred towards LSU. Both teams were in the wrong, and yes Flau’jae was wrong for pushing whoever that girl was and she did start that fight. Now, let’s look underneath the surface to what really happened….the only person who truly hurt them during this game was MiLaysia. All Flau’jae truly did intentionally was she fouled MiLaysia, which for trying to get a layup is a pretty smart move and the refs really didn’t try to do much about it. Now could she have handled that much better? Yes, but like both coaches said after the game….everyone’s emotions were running high. I mean let’s be real here….how many of you play sports? Probably some of you, now how many of you have played in a game in which things were starting to go wrong for your team, you tried your best to get a score but then something stopped you, you got upset and in the moment you took your anger out onto someone even though it wasn’t your intentions? I’m sure some of you can grab your balls (no pun intended) and admit to that. Flau’jae never meant any actual harm, she was just super in the moment and she also apologized to Coach Staley after the game. Now, Kamilla on the other hand….while she was trying to stick up for her teammate, she was wrong for pushing Flau’jae that hard especially when the damage had already been done before that. Flau’jae intentionally fouled MilLaysia but unintentionally pushed that other girl, and Kamilla intentionally pushed Flau’jae. LSU doesn’t back down…..if you come for one of them, they’re gonna come for you. It’s also messed up how people wanna say that Angel is a horrible person over “trash talk” when so many of these girls do trash talk. Angel might be extra with how she does it, but it is never that serious, intentionally, and she never says anything crazy offensive. Some of you take the trash talk too seriously and act like it’s the worse thing in sports. Now, she definitely shouldn’t have pulled Kamilla’s hair but at the end of the day….it all happened, it’s all done….both teams played well (for the final score to be that close.) Also, how are y’all gonna shame LSU meanwhile lately they’ve been a few other teams getting into fights as well? LSU is not the only team, but they’re the team that y’all choose to hate on.
Like even WNBA players sad
How do you know her intent? You sound dumb ass hell with this take. Lsu was mauling all day talking shit, pulling hair and elbowing sc
The lsu outrage is insane because when they won the championship everybody was dick riding now that they lost a few games this year I noticed everyone started hating them especially angel and HVL I think majority of the hate for the team comes from angel tho I was a player we ALL talked smack during games this is nothing new I don’t see this energy for the Iowa team oh I know why👧🏼it’s sad how black people hate there own kind also I’m tired of dawn with all this fake humble shit when she talks smack as well just not in the media Kim doesn’t hide the way she feels for the media and yall hate it now all of a sudden Kim is a bad coach but last year she was the best coach😂 let’s be real yall only dick ride the SC team because they’re undefeated but let them loose a game yall will be hating in the comments mark my words☺️
flajaes brother attacked cardoso. He should be locked up.
Camilla Cardoso attacked his sister
No he didn't and I'm glad he ran out there. Y'all wouldn't sit back and watch Y'all's sister get attacked... I'm proud of him. After he did that everything diffused. They got him and they stopped the women from escalating
@tylerfan1212He did touch her. He actually grabbed her in a bear hug which is why he was arrested and charged.
I wouldn't give af about nun blood is thicker than water I'm not arguing I'm just real asf
If that’s the case flaujae need to press charges on kamilla and get her ass deported 🤷🏿♂️
S.C. cheated allegedly 🤔 Angel Reese 🏆🏀 and the tigers are my champions but congratulations 👏🏾 S.C. 😭
Paper champs
Now everybody hate lsu yall been hating yall hate to see a black team win anything soon as the season started and they lost they first game yall been hating ever since as if teams can’t loose I’ve never seen this energy for the Iowa team👧🏼 and they’ve lost games this season as well yall only dick ride dawn cause SC is undefeated soon as they loose yall will be hating them next😂dawn kiss ass for the media and yall eat it up Kim don’t care how the media views her she’s going to stand behind her team no matter what and like she said I wish kamilla would have pushed angel🤭also kamilla has been ejected from games before for fighting now what🙃
SC been getting Hate & called Thugs for years!!! Dawn Staley been getting Hate for years!!! LSU just started getting this type of hate, where you been at??? LSU Fans welcome to the CLUB💯😂🤣
Neither team will win the championship
Either of the USC’s (South Carolina) or (Southern California) will win.
You are probably looking at your national championship game. Especially if they are on opposite sides.
