Already known as an unstoppable force in the paint, the South Carolina Gamecocks women’s basketball team unveiled a terrifying new weapon: elite perimeter shooting. In a dominant tournament victory, the Gamecocks caught absolute fire from beyond the arc, burying their opponents under an avalanche of three-pointers.
An Unguardable Offensive Mix
When a team possessing South Carolina’s size and rebounding ability suddenly shoots 50% from three-point range, they become functionally unguardable. Opposing defenses were forced to stretch out to the perimeter to respect the shooters, immediately opening up massive driving lanes and easy post-up opportunities. If this shooting rhythm holds, the Gamecocks are overwhelming favorites to cut down the nets.
