South Carolina’s women’s basketball team stayed undefeated on the season on Saturday in a stunning finish against Tennessee.
Center Kamilla Cardoso hit a clutch 3-pointer as the clock expired to give South Carolina the 74-73 victory at home over the Lady Vols in one of the best endings to a basketball game this season.
After the game, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley told ESPN what advice she gave Cardoso before she saved the team’s undefeated season. It’s pretty perfect.
“The last thing that came out of my mouth was ‘Kamilla, shoot that blanky blank,'” Staley quipped in the postgame interview about her advice to Cardoso.

Cardoso took her coach’s suggestion and it worked out more than fine for South Carolina as the team earned the hard-fought victory over Tennessee.
The team will undoubtedly remain atop the rankings and should be a favorite once the 2024 NCAA women’s tournament gets going later this month.
