Have to give some kudos to the South Carolina women\u2019s basketball team. They did something that I don\u2019t think I will ever see again in their first round tournament game against Howard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They set a new standard for defensive excellence. They had scored 44 pointe in the first half, but that wasn\u2019t the big story. They had managed to hold Howard to 4 points!!! That is right – they were winning 44-4 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They continue to stop Howard in the 3rd quarter – as Howard only scored 4 more points – imagine playing 30 minutes of basketball and only scoring 8 points! By the end, Howard had scored an all-time low of 21 points in an NCAA Tournament game, and South Carolina advanced with a 58 point victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know that the MEAC conference is not a power house, there is a reason that Howard was a 16 seed. But Howard did win their conference and was 21-10 for the season. And South Carolina held them to 4 point in an entire half!!!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What an amazing performance from the South Carolina women!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
