Mercer dominated the 2nd Period to tie the score 27-27 - the Gamecocks regressed into it's familiar funk of poor shot selections and turnovers to open the door for the Bears. But the Gamecocks wake up and fight back, going off on a 10-0 run and out-scoring Mercer 16-5 to close out the quarter, and take the 43-32 lead into the halftime break. But this is STILL supposed to be a #1 Seed versus a #16.
The starting guards of Destanni Henderson and Zia Cooke were blanked in the first half - this explains a lot. Both are a combined 0-4 from the field, so its not like they were chucking up bricks in the 1st half. Hopefully they engage a little in the 2nd half, because the team might need them.
Aliyah Boston led the way with a monster 1st half - 15 pts on 6-9 shooting, 10 rebounds and 3 assists. Victaria Saxton was also big with 12 pts on 5-5 shooting and 4 rebounds. Laeticia Amihere and Destiny Littleton came off the bench with 7 pts each...

Usually when Boston is out of the game, Cooke and Henderson step up, but they were invisible in the entire 1st half. Only 4 shot attempts between them which is atypical - especially for Cooke who has never heard told of a shot she doesn't like to take.
That was like the Gamecocks playing the 1st half with one arm tied behind their backs. Those girls are going to be needed in the 2nd half....

Gamecocks win 79-53 over the Mercer Bears in the First Round of the 2021 NCAA Tournament. The win was also Coach Dawn Staley's 500th career win as a head coach, so congrats Coach Dawn!
The Gamecocks (23-4) were led by Aliyah Boston with 20 pts on 8-13 shooting, and 18 rebounds. Victaria Saxton also scored 20 pts to tied her career high - she shot 7-10 from the field, and also had 6 rebounds. Zia Cooke rebounded from an ice cold scoring 1st half to score all 13 of her pts in the 2nd half, and added 3 boards and 3 steals. Reserve Laeticia Amihere added 11 pts on 5-11 shooting, and 8 rebounds.
Survive and advance....
