“We just had a lot of quit in us tonight, and that’s been something that’s been consistent with our team, is we’re not comfortable and things don’t go our way, and I have a team that’ll just quit on you, and you can’t do that in big games,” Caldwell said. “You can’t do that any anytime in the SEC, but you certainly can’t do that at a program like this.”
South Carolina outscored the Lady Vols, 54-16, in the paint. The Gamecocks also outrebounded Tennessee, 38-24, and totaled 29 fast break points to the Lady Vols’ 11 points.
