South Carolina Defeats LSU 66-56, Ends Tigers' Undefeated Season

In a highly anticipated matchup, No. 2 South Carolina defeated No. 5 LSU 66-56, marking the Tigers' first loss of the season and extending their winless streak against the Gamecocks to five games. South Carolina's defense proved pivotal, holding LSU to a season-low shooting percentage and capitalizing on 17 turnovers to secure the victory. Aneesah Morrow led the Tigers with a double-double, but struggled against the Gamecocks' defensive pressure, missing several key shots. The Gamecocks maintained a balanced scoring attack, with no player exceeding 14 points, while their bench outscored LSU's reserves significantly. The win strengthens South Carolina's position in the SEC standings, while LSU's offensive struggles in the second and third quarters hindered their chances of victory. This result puts South Carolina as the sole powerhouse in the SEC, continuing their dominance in recent matchups against LSU.
