That was definitely a lesson for me! We were at that game. And we looked at each other and we knew it was over. A friend turned around to talk to some Tennessee fans. He only got "Congrat" out Tennessee fan interrupted with, "OH SH.." 😅 What a game!
Yeah that would have to at the top of the list of soul snatching 😂 as we say down south bless her heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️ AN GO GAMECOCKS TENNESSEE AWESOME COMEBACK. AN RIKIA JACKSON great leader when she helped her teammate that was crying up at end of game. picked up an held on to her as they walked to the locker room class act
@GeneTurner-gg4yo exactly!!!! Did yall hear the dumb Tennessee fans in the stands who were singing "We Will Rock You" ???? Scratching my head on that 1.
Kamilla is 6'7". Even if a player tried to block her she was tall enough that she might have been able to shoot over the defender's head and still make the shot.
...and credit to Coach Lisa Boyle who worked with Cardosa on that very shot! "A stroke of coaching genius" - shows why Coach Dawn is the #1 college coach of 2024!!!
Tennessee said here hold this W we don't want it.... missed 2 freethrows, then said you know what we want you to take a nice jumper instead of a half court prayer, let me foul you so you can set up. And these stupid announcers called that smart?!😂
Coach Staley called the perfect play in this situation - her best 3-point shooters (minus Tessa) on the perimeter, Watkins down low, and the unsuspecting hero at the top. This forced players to stay locked on their individual opponent, allowing Cardoso to step out for the uncontested 3! NICE!!! This is superior basketball IQ on full display! A little luck never hurts...❤
The coach always tells you, the game is not over until the whistle blows. Those Tennessee players were standing around not paying attention to the final inbound, and NO ONE was guarding Cardoso. They didn't even give her that respect because she's not a long range shooter (that was her first and only 3 pointer), and their hubris cost them the game. GO SC!!!!
The shot that save the day for SC and leading to NCAA National tournament final Win and undefeated season of 0 to 38W. Who does that? A. FAVOR, The SC Lady Gamecock Champions & University of SC brilliant, but humble head basketball coach Dawn Staley 🐓🏆 ❤️🖤☝🏽
its's got to be the best last 2 minutes of any game...Love that announcer's voice... love how Jackson took care of her team mate after loosing, it says 100% about her character.
Nah, they had 2 fouls to give so that was a smart play taking it. Just like if someone were guarding Cardoso, they could have taken another one just to kill the time. The missed free throws and the bad cover at the end cost them the game, Cardoso shouldn't have been left wide opened like that because it was 5 against 4 and 2 of Tennessee players were caught in no man's land not guarding anyone and you can't win like that.
@@ndjibukabengele973Not smart at all if she makes the half court shot she makes it but giving them essentially a timeout was super low IQ and now justification for it
@@everettyoung6596 no she was acting like not choking , nervous at free throw line that's why she missed the couldn't handle the situation SHAQ did this all the time
@ndjibukabengele973 hello I played basketball and coached basketball that was one of the dumbest fouls i have ever seen and I don't care if they had fouls to give...that girl was launching an improbable over half court shot..let her shoot the ball and the games over ..TENNESSEE WINS
Tennessee had south carolina by the balls and just choked. This has to be the play of the year for women's college basketball. This saved a perfect season.
With 3,7 sec left Rickea Jackson's mom was celebrating like the game was over. I'm glad they didn't show her face after that shot. I can't imagine the range of emotions .
I kinda wanted to see it you never supposed to celebrate until the game is over or at least you have the ball in your possession so the clock would have just ran out
Hopefully she want be there to much longer! She has sucked pretty good up to this point! Harper would probably do better at another mid major program ! Do not feel sorry for her she sucked about 6 million from UT the last 5 years
Exactly...we appreciate the Tennessee player who missed both free throws .... (in my mean Assist. Tenn. coach voice: everybody line up for suicides lol)
Great clutch shot by Kamilla. Coach Staley flew in her mom and sister from Brazil last week for senior night so they got to see this in person so that was very special for Kamilla to have won the game like that. Tennessee played a great game. They came back from being down by 23 points. The Gamecocks played very sloppy the 2nd half and very sloppy against A&M the first half. Let's hope they got all of their sloppy playing out of their system because LSU will come at them hard tomorrow and they'd better be ready! Go Gamecocks!!
They gave that game away! When pow pow miss her shout, they 3 .7 seconds on the clock. Instead Tennessee player try too run the clock out. She just stand there an let SC foul her! Then she didn't take her time at the free-throw. She just threw the ball, then last Tennessee just let SC center left her by herself! Bad coaching, their team is just that dumb! That was just plain stupid! Tennessee just gave that game away! I mean if you look at the last play. Tennessee players look lost! As they didn't know what to do. It's just crazy!
That game was one of if not the best of the entire season. That shot was one of the most incredible in NCAA history but the journalists would give more attention to the LSU/SC game that involved a dustup...
I've never seen a most impressive and most valuable 3-pointer like that, with 1.1sec left, by somebody who had never made a 3-pointer in her career....woow!!🤯😳
...and yet you've got Gamecocks Fans bent outta shape because of how Coach Staley answered a gotcha question from a political hack. I'll tell you what, the moment that Coach Staley steps away from this post, USC won't come within driving distance of this kind of success ever again. LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH AN ACCOMPLISHED COACH AND HER STAFF!
Literally the best moment in all of the 2023-24 season. A player known for her defense, and never having made a three point shot in a game, launches a shot from 3-point range which banks in the basket. Only Coach Staley could see this before it happened. Faith said, "50-50 CHANCE," Coach said, "I love those odds."
I can watch this on repeat!!! What a moment, holy smokes!!! The only thing better are the clips of Dawn running around afterwards like she at church 🤣😭 Love Kamillas reaction too! She just jumped up and down like a happy af kid!
That shot had to Sting Tennessee but it was meant to be for SC. It was unbelievable her 1st 3 pointer, was the winning shot WOW meant to be. NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN IT
GREAT FINISH!❤ After all of these years of watching Lady Gamecocks Basketball, watching this video in slow motion was my first time noticing that South Carolina uniforms have the names “under” the numbers! SMART! 😂
This game is a game changer of coaching n players as one to win this game in historic fashion. Seeing back then n now today 22 April’s 2024 is just like that day wow . One for da ages congrats to the SC CENTER CAMILLA N ANGEL REESE TEAMING UP TO PLAY IN DRAFT DAY WNBA SKY TEAM NOW WOW
WOW what a game! Talk about a nail -biter! Tennessee thought they had it. In the end though, Captain Gamecock, aka Kamilla Cardoso, saved the DAY!!!!!!
I just noticed that they already had Tennesee's name in flashing lights as if they had already won. Goes to show you don't know until the last second ticks off the clock and the buzzer sounds. I would have loved a camera shot of those two female Tennessee fans that were hugging each other a second before that shot to see their faces after that shot was made. 😅
