TESSA JOHNSON LEADS THE GAMECOCKS TO A PERFECT CHAMPIONSHIP 🔥 | ESPN College Basketball 

LOSING ALL 5 STARTERS .. THEN GOING UNDEFEATED AND WINNING A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IS THE BEST STORY IN WCBB .. AND IT WASNT CELEBRATED ENOUGH ..

Tessa was amazing today

She played the game like she was starter and that's way all bench players are suppose to play. She sealed the game for them!!

Tessa Johnson: Nerves. Of. Steel. 👏🏾👏🏾🏆

Tessa Johnson 19 Pts, 4 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl (3-6, 3-3PT) *#TJ* *#SouthCarolina* *#Gamecocks* *#NCAAW* 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

They need to make a movie about those south Carolina legends.

Freshman Tessa came to play, the entire team for SC had the desire and heart to win this game. Congratulations SC Champions this was your time to shine

Well deserved SC! Y’all went undefeated and built a dynasty

Love her game, calm and collected. Balances out the team

Amazing to go undefeated in any elite sport, congrats to the Gamecocks and they deserve all the attention for that alone.

South Carolina the real team. A one woman show will only go so far

Johnson reminds me of Jasmine Carson performance last tear. 3x3s. Well done SC

Tessa Johnson snapped her left femur in half in high school. The dang thigh bone - and not just a fracture, but a clean break. The strongest bone in the body - and arguably one of the most important for mobility, balance, and stability when you consider how many (and the importance of) muscles, ligaments and tendons it supports. Think about that when you watch her glide up and down the court - drive to the basket - step back and hit the midranges, etc. She is fearless. The fact that she plays at such a high level with that kind of traumatic leg injury is so impressive. She is one to watch for many years! She has quickly become one of my favorites on the team.

Raven locked Clark down

Cardozo had 15 points, 17 rebounds, 3 blocks and some other altered shots. She's dominant on the boards and defensively. South Carolina will miss her.

Impressive performance from Tessa!!! She played like a vet!!!

A star in the making!!!!!!!⭐️🏆

So many weapons on this team. Tessa was the x-factor!!!!!

Just found out that back in high school she suffered a major injury (a femur break! )and she is HERE dropping 19 points and winning the NCAA Division I Women’s National championship as a freshman. I don’t know if we even realize how more than incredible this is. Just jaw-dropping for me.

Balled out!

Tessa will be one of the greatest. Just watch

TESSA JOHNSON HAD A COOKOUT IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!!🏀🏀🏀🔥🔥🔥

I have a really good feeling about Tessa. She went above and beyond this season. Menace!

Phenomenal performance by Tessa Johnson 🏀🏆

Did anyone honestly think Iowa was going to win this? They won by 1 point against a team that had at least 60 points sitting on the bench. And they won that by way of ref

Congratulations South Carolina!!! A year of perfection completed. 🙂

Refs did all they could to give Iowa the win 😂😂😂

Way to go Tessa! One of Minnesota's very own!

A perfect season love you ladies ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tournament Tessa DIFFERENT she got me over here proud like I know her 😂

Wow amazing performance by the south Carolina Women team this afternoon was a tough and physical and mental game tonight but by the end of the clock they came out in top.Hopefully they will win the championship this year. Great contributions tonight and efforts from Ashlyn,Kamilla ,Te-hina, Raven Johnson and Tessa Johnson tonight.But for me the MVP player goes to Tessa Johnson her 19 points lead South Carolina to the victory and prevented them from being eliminated. But on the defense end this afternoon was a big and great game coming from Kamila her 15 points and 17 rebounds This is a great night for Gamecocks fans and Dawn Stanley as well.

They gone be pressure next year again lol…they gonna hate south carolina

The refs was trying to keep Iowa in the game lol

Great job!

And a "Star" was born, get em Tess

Tessa was the bessa

MY FAVORITE FEMALE BASKETBALL PLAYER TESSA JOHNSON AND GOOD JOB 🏆❤️🔥

I love watching Iowa get CLAPPED and I mean CLAPPED....2 YEARS IN A ROW!

Tezzzz Johnson is my favorite player, this girl can play.

She said Caitlin I’m gonna show how to really shoot 💪 💯 congratulations 🍾 SC

#5..Coach Staley had that number and TESSA plays just like COACH STALEY...I knew she was gonna be a problem since game 3 of this year...🥶

Tessa is a baller great shooting Tessa congrats an ty

2nd best player on the floor 2day after Cardoso & only a freshman! Congrats Tessa & THANK YOU 4 helping put an end 2 all that hype.

Where are the full highlights?? It’s been a half hour since they won. If Iowa won they highlights would have been up

This girl is awesome! So mature for a freshy!

Tessa up next !

0:13 that pull up jumper was so gorgeous

Tessa and Chloe gonna be a problem next year.

I love watching Tessa run & & shoot & play. My fav Gamecock all season long.

Congratulations 🏆

With a stroke like that Tessa will always be confident. I get mad when she doesn’t shoot her open shots. Coaching staff finally cut her loose & it paid off.

Tessa "CRUSHED ICE" Johnson, did her thang!!!!!

Good job ladies ❤

This game was so good! I'm probably going to watch it again, although the 1st quarter was stressful. I know the outcome now! Tessa was so clutch! GO COCKS 🔥🔥🔥🏀🏀🏀

Tessa's all around game is superior to Clarke. Just a better all-around point guard.

Iowa fans slaty on social media right now smh their sore losers

She is amazing and I like her voice. From Brazil 🇧🇷.

Tessa!! 🔥🔥🔥

Minnesota Stars ⭐️ Live for this

South Carolina wasn't relying on one player like Iowa was. If Caitlin Clark were to go to the bench for any given reason the margin of defeat for Iowa might have set a Championship game record.

😎What a great player, so smooth, so pretty, may God bless Miss Tessa Johnson !!! Omaha!

Talk About 🔥 🔥 Tessa was Hoop N.. 👍🏿👍🏿

Tessa Tough 💪🏽

Revenge Tour complete!

Congratulations

Don’t know any players, except C. Clark. Looked at the leading scorer on the winning team. She’s a freshman. Boom 💥 congratulations on winning a trophy youngster!

Tessa been doing a great job all year .Shes a baller for real. She can shoot

Tessa Johnson was my MVP and she's cute

New pack in the air 🚬 that Caitlin Clark pack..

Yeah...THEY had a predesigned scenario ALL laid out. Yeah...THEY had the crown all Caithlin shined up and ready. Yeah...THEY had the coronation all primed and the Queen eager to take the throne. LOL.. Thing is Coach Dawn Staley and the Game Cocks had a vastly different point of view. Long live the QUEEN!!

Ball don’t lie. Congrats SC. Refs couldn’t help this time. Lol

More SC love flood it espn I know it hurts you yahoos to do this but the better team won

She's a beast!

I'm go to the parade when they get back to Columbia sc

They overcame the refs shitty calls, justice for UConn was served

I didn’t hear anything about S Carolina all year. Nothing but Caitlyn Caitlyn Caitlyn. Didn’t watch the game, but sounds like Iowa is pretty weak except Caitlyn. Crazy this sport is doing better than the weak NBA.

🔥

G.O.A.T.S COME THROUGH WHEN YOU NEED THEM!!!!!

So happy for Tessa and I dont even know her., LOL what a performance!!!!

PROUD OF GAMECOCKS!!! 🖐️ 💍 I thank yall for all the sacrifice, dedication, and hardwork!!! Love yall

Tessa...❤❤❤....She and M. Fulwiley will crack the South Carolina Lady Gamecocks starting lineup next year...Tessa...Fulwiley...Raven Johnson...Ashlyn Watkins...Chloe Kitts...❤❤❤...

This is how you know people think scoring is everything . She was 5th best in the team

SC have Size and Depth, IOWA are small team.
