Third-ranked South Carolina trailed by five points with 4:23 to play, then went on a 10-2 run over the next four minutes and went on to a 79-77 win over Louisville Thursday night at the KFC YUM! Center in Louisville for a point in the ACC-SEC Challenge.
Madina Okot sparked the rally with three layups, Raven Johnson scored the other four points with two free throws and a layup.
While the Gamecocks were getting to the basket and the line, the Cardinals made just three of their last 15 shots from the floor. They were held to 28% shooting in the fourth quarter.
Okot recorded her NCAA best seventh double-double of the season with 23 points and 13 rebounds. Tessa Johnson added 20 points and seven rebounds.
The Gamecocks are now 8-1 and will host North Carolina Central on Sunday afternoon.
