Latson, Johnson lead No. 2 Gamecocks to 103-74 win, ending 'Dores perfect start

South Carolina forced 16 first-half turnovers and had five players score in double digits to end Vanderbilt's school-record 20-game winning streak.

  • On Jan. 25 in Columbia, the No. 2 South Carolina Gamecocks scored 103 points to defeat Vanderbilt and end the Commodores' school-record 20-game start at Colonial Life Arena.
  • An aggressive defensive approach by the Gamecocks forced 16 first-half turnovers and South Carolina opened on an 11-2 run, leading by 21 in the first half.
  • Balanced scoring from multiple players, with Ta'Niya Latson and Tessa Johnson combining for 41 points, while Madina Okot came off the bench to score 17, after a lineup adjustment.
  • The loss leaves Vanderbilt Commodores without an unbeaten record and shifts standings, with South Carolina Gamecocks at 20-2, 6-1 and Vanderbilt Commodores at 20-1, 6-1 after rebounding from a 94-82 overtime loss at No. 16 Oklahoma.
  • The win adds to a run of quality victories as South Carolina secured its second SEC win over a top-five opponent after beating fourth-ranked Texas on Jan. 15, and Coach Dawn Staley leads 4-2 versus top 25 teams before traveling to Auburn on Jan. 29.
