In a thrilling women's college basketball game, No. 1 South Carolina came back to defeat No. 9 LSU with a final score of 76-70. LSU led for most of the game but struggled on layups, which contributed to their defeat. Angel Reese, mentored by Shaquille O'Neal, fouled out late in the game, impacting LSU's performance. Aneesah Morrow stood out with 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Tigers. South Carolina, under coach Dawn Staley's leadership, showcased their poise and discipline, improving their record to 18-0 and continuing their impressive run with a 60-1 record over the last 61 games. The victory ended LSU's 29-game home win streak and sets the stage for potential future encounters in the SEC and NCAA tournaments.

I was at this game last night — and I was absolutely floored by the atmosphere. The stadium was packed an hour before tipoff. Crazy energy. Big time collegiate women’s basketball is ln an exciting place it hasn’t been. https://t.co/n761NsoWGb
Through last night's games, Colorado WBB is at No. 17 in the NET rankings. #cubuffs have a shot at a really good win tonight at Oregon State, which is No. 24 in NET.

South Carolina women's basketball dominates the country in plenty of statistical categories, but the group's ability to claw back into games should scare other teams the most, @emmabaccellieri writes https://t.co/z6sQdE6g2m
Dawn Staley is truly unflappable and South Carolina looks unbeatable because of it https://t.co/SnIZPgRH6W https://t.co/0k93xdqQD3
Dawn Staley on LSU fans not being friendly to her: "Actually they were. They were calling me boo." 🤣 (via @sportingnews) https://t.co/984yqgIpO3
"They were calling me, 'Boo.'" -South Carolina coach Dawn Staley, whom LSU fans booed loudly. But No. 1 SC had last laugh. And Staley remains staunchly vs. scheduling BYU over unproven racial slur. https://t.co/5CZlQXsJ3H https://t.co/fwEnKAoSGE
Dawn Staley sticking to her guns - those misfired, inaccurate guns of false racial claims vs. BYU fan. https://t.co/Pu8OVdu7V7 https://t.co/1x1det6fwg
For five years, women's hoops in the SEC has belonged to South Carolina. Thursday’s come-from-behind win over LSU was a reminder of that fact. But if ever a real rival were emerging to threaten the Gamecocks’ reign, it’s these Tigers. ✍️ @sabreenajm ⤵️ https://t.co/lfdW3sYJHU
LSU vs SC delivered Both South Carolina & LSU have to feel pretty damn good this today. SC went into a DAMN hostile environment & rallied. LSU went toe to toe w/ #1 until Angel Reese fouled out Good chance 1st of 3 matchups this season 2 with a title on the line (SEC, NCAA)
Last night showed what women’s college basketball does extremely well, arguably better than its male counterpart: Stage a high-stakes, thrilling regular-season game. Plus, two new NFL hires were somehow overshadowed by the unemployed. The Pulse ⤵️ https://t.co/KHrlZNrhrJ
No. 1 South Carolina holds off No. 9 LSU https://t.co/45IXX8VJVy https://t.co/5vzFmpCbPf
If the Pac-12 basketball tournaments were starting tomorrow, Colorado would be the No. 1 seed for women and the No. 2 seed for men. Is CU a basketball school?! I know, plenty of hoops to be played. But both teams are gonna be fun to watch down the stretch. #cubuffs
LSU superfan wears a full 'Angel' Reese costume to watch her take on No. 1 South Carolina... who end the Tigers' 29-game home win streak with thrilling comeback victory https://t.co/LcILd9s2Qy https://t.co/s7hh4NkABv
South Carolina hasn’t lost a regular season game since Dec. 30, 2021. Twenty. Twenty. One. Insane run.

Sara-Rose Smith on the trip to Oregon with Colorado WBB. That's a positive sign. She's missed the last 4 games and they could use her rebounding and tenacity this weekend. #cubuffs https://t.co/1FpNQH1ukf

Great night for women’s basketball. ACC continues to be wildly competitive. South Carolina shows its dominance in what is likely our game of the season so far. Oh, and hey, Gonzaga won again. Bulldogs building a top 16 resume. #ncaaW
Dawn Staley’s South Carolina squad is an incredible 60-1 in its last 61 games. https://t.co/Tkl3cVm6en
Outstanding 76-70 comeback victory for the Lady Gamecocks. It was exciting from start to finish!
That SC-LSU game was spectacular - women’s college basketball is on a roll
Dawn Staley gets a lot of love, but you know what? It's not enough. After losing its whole starting lineup from last year's 36-1 squad, South Carolina is 18-0 and just went on the road to beat defending champ LSU. Just a brilliant job of strategy, recruiting & player development.
Wow! This @GamecockWBB and @LSUwbkb game tonight was awesome. Dawn Staley’s team played with great poise and discipline down the stretch to win in a tough atmosphere. Bree Hall hit couple monster 3’s late. Really entertaining game.
What a great game #SouthCarolina #LSU #NCAAWBB #Sarge
Women’s NCAA tournament is going to be *so good* once again this year
FINAL in women's hoops: No. 1 South Carolina goes to LSU and wins 76-70. Toughest loss for LSU since that time Kayshon Boutte bet himself on over receiving yards... and didn't hit ☹️☹️
This was great competition tho like wow, women’s basketball at its finest
This is South Carolina-LSU game has lived up to the billing. High level hoops w big time shot after shot. Sign me up for this in April.
NGL, watched every second of this USC vs LSU WBB Game. Helluva ball game.
LSU & USC game so turnt 🔥🙌🏾
Mikaylah Williams finally hits a 3. Then an SC turnover. #LSU ball up 67-65, 4:28 left. Williams was 0 of 7 from 3 before that shot.
Morrow with the block down low. She has played amazingly well tonight. 16 pts, 10 reb.#LSU
We’ve had Ohio State-Iowa and LSU-South Carolina just this week. Women’s college hoops have never been better.
#LSU led by six after the first quarter. By five at halftime. Going to the 4th, @LSUwbkb is up four, 56-52. It's been a thriller.
Cardoso off the inbound. 8 straight for SC going back to the first half and now it's a 41-38 #LSU lead.
Flau'jae for 3 from Dawn Staley's lap. #LSU back up 11 again, 41-30, 1:19 before half.
Del Rosario with a folo and draws the foul. She has 2 points, four rebounds and 3 blocks. Missed the FT but goes OB to #LSU, which leds 36-25 with 3:51 left in the 2nd.
Del Rosario in for Reese who has 11 and 6. #LSU's first sub with 6:54 left in the half. 32-23 Tigers
End of the 1st @LSUwbkb 24 South Carolina 18 Tigers outplayed the Gamecocks throughout the first 10 minutes but really let some momentum slip away at the end. #LSU missed three shots and SC came down and got a 3 from PaoPao at the buzzer.
Potentially big moment early. HVL misses 2 FTs but Reese rebounds, outlets to HVL who hits a 3. Meanwhile underneath a frustration foul as Watkins shoves Morrow to the court. 24-13 #LSU. Tigers led by 11 in the 2nd here in 2022.
