Спорт
UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) - Kamilla Cardoso scored 17 points and Te-Hina Paopao added 15 on Sunday to help top-ranked South Carolina hold off No. 11 Utah 78-69 at the Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase.
Freshman MiLaysia Fulwiley and sophomore Chloe Kitts each added 11 for the Gamecocks (9-0), who have beaten four ranked teams this season.
Alissa Pili made 15 of her 23 shots from the floor and finished with 37 points for Utah (8-2).
South Carolina led for all but 43 seconds during the game, but led by just seven points at the half and five after three quarters.
Pili helped Utah cut the lead to two points on several occasions, but South Carolina always responded with a run.
It was still a five-point lead with 3 1/2 minutes left when Pili hit a fall-away in the lane over Cardoso to make it 69-65. A layup by Dasia Young the next time down the floor cut the lead to 69-67.
But Utah could not get over the hump and South Carolina scored nine of the game’s final 11 points.
Utah’s 6-foot-2 star Pili had 21 first-half points, but picked up her third foul on an offensive screen with just under five minutes to play in the half.
Utah had won six in a row since falling by seven points to Baylor on Nov. 14.
Notables
The Gamecocks had a strong offensive start, shooting 73.3 percent (11-for-15) in the first quarter for the highest FG% this season in the opening quarter.
South Carolina proved its depth, with the bench outscoring the Utes 18-0 through the first half alone and finishing 26-2 over Utah.
The Gamecock defense locked in when it mattered most, holding Utah to just 12 points on 33.3 percent shooting in the period while South Carolina hit 54.5 percent from the field to close out the win.
Te-Hina Paopao became a key factor for South Carolina in the second half, putting up 10 of her 15, including a clutch 3 with under five minutes left to keep the Gamecocks on top. Paopao has now made at least two 3s in every game she has appeared in this season.
MiLaysia Fulwiley went a perfect 3-for-3 from behind the arc, hitting her first to round out an 8-0 run by the Gamecocks in the first quarter, then hit her second to finish scoring in the first half on an additional 6-0 run.
Chloe Kitts ended in double digits for the seventh time this season, packing on seven boards and four assists to finish out strong on both sides of the ball
Kamilla Cardoso led the Gamecocks with 17 points, with seven coming in just the first five minutes of the game.

I think the referee’s need to be investigated for this game by independent investigation firm, just ask the ESPN game announcers. Last time I saw something like this it was the semi final game between Caitlin Clark vs South Carolina.

Right like how can you call an offensive foul on a player getting position in the post , no pushing off or nothing just using her body

They going to do SC like this until basketball fans have had enough.
Utah has a great squad. I am a huge fan of Alissa Pili and her game will transition to the next level very well. Much respect to the Utes....Go Gamecocks!
This could've been a great win for Utah but you can't miss those open layups against SC. It's like you gotta play a perfect game against them. Congrats to the gamecocks.
UTAH is going to be a great team this years .March Maddddddness i can not wait! UTAH almost beat LSU last season. 👀
congratulation S.C. love yall
Utah missed so many open layups and sc took advantage of that
Cardosa needs to be more aggressive.

U didn’t see her get those unnecessary foul calls? She was playing cautiously because the refs were gunnin for her.

@superfantastic8819 You didn't see pili scoring on her? Not just this game either. She needs to be more aggressive as I said.

I agree...she needs to be aggressive yet calm to stay out of foul trouble. Pili isn't your normal post...shes versatile, strong and had a field day with SC post players.
SC Missed Some Shots That We Normally Dont Miss But To Have Our Players Pushed Around Like This And No Calls Were Made, Something Is Up!
Would love to know how the game would have went if all of Utah players were healthy and played ????
And that's utah without one of their top players.

Yeah part of the sports is; the refs gets it wrong! Often
They have a little too much power.. they get paid good money and should be held accountable
What this tells me is that SC has no D. Hidalgo dropped 30plus on them and now Pili. They will struggle against teams with multiple big gamers.
It's like the opposite of what happens with Zach Eddy he gets fouled all the time and ut doesn't get called because of his size Cardoso is bigger so shes getting called for this fouls.... officiating is subjective its just a part of sports
