THE MOMENT THAT SAVED SOUTH CAROLINA'S UNDEFEATED SEASON 😱 | ESPN College Basketball 

This was a week of miracles for Kamilla. Here’s the sequence: 1) Her Mother and Sister were not allowed to board a plane from Brazil to the United States. They had never watched Kamilla play in person in America; 2) Coach Dawn Staley reached out to Congressman Jim Clyburn of South Carolina regarding the situation. Rep. Clyburn is also President Biden’s closest Congressional Member; 3) Visas were granted to Kamilla’s Family to visit the United States; 4) Coach Staley and the Athletic Department of the University of South Carolina set up a surprised meeting, on campus, between Kamilla, her Mother and Sister. We can imagine, or watched the video, of that emotionally charged moment!; 5) While seated in court side VIP seats, Kamilla’s Mother and Sister witnessed her drained a miracle 3-point shot from top of the key that not only won the game and stunned Tennessee that they lost the game, but also electrified all in attendance- shocked or elated-and every Viewer who globally watched this game! Well done and a thousand Thank You’s for the life- long memory, Kamilla!❤️

South Carolina just won the National Championship with an undefeated season. I told folks when Cardoso made this shot to remember this moment because after SC wins it all, this was the shot which kept the hope of an undefeated season alive

I am AMAZED that they let her shoot that!! I don't care if she didn't hit a 3-pointer all season, you DON'T TAKE A CHANCE!! PLAY DEFENSE!!

Look closely at 2:06 Coach Dawn told her exactly where to stand, and then you can see her call her attention again and told her “SHOOT IT!” She drew up and great play… she knew who would be open and trusted her player and told her to shoot it even though she isn’t a 3 point shooter! ❤️👏🏾 wow

THE THRILLA FROM CAMILLA ‼️👌👌👌✂️🤩

Watching this live was wild, they left her wild open and she nailed it like she shoot 3s in the gym all day

She shot those free throws like she was throwing candy...experience matters...

I used to tell my son it's not over until is over. Kamilla knew that 🎉😊

Was actually at this game. I never felt energy like that before. We lost our minds when she made it. Literally after the game, I spoke to some fans. We were still shaking from the adrenaline. It's like that moment was in slow motion!

I keep rewatching the last few minutes of this game. An absolute thriller!

it's safe to say the way that Tennessee coach look like she got punched in the gut she knew this was her last day at work😅

If you watch Carolina's bench on the inbnound, I love that Sania Feagin stood at the time of release and raised the three. Glad to see someone on the bench was still clinging to confidence over hope in the moment.

Everyone talking about the defense on the final shot… But not about the 2 missed FTs .. yikes

NOBODY and I mean NOBODY was taking the season away from these girls. Every player stepped up when their number was called.

Tough lesson to learn respect everyone on the floor

This is why you have to play until the game is over! Every second counts!!!

No shot Tennessee just blew that. 😂😂

I've watched the ending of the game about 30 times . I love seeing everyone's reaction when the ball goes in

The assistant coach was yelling to guard the inbound pass, but the head coach pulled her back. No defense on the inbound or the player. Kamilla is an All American, guard her!!Give it up for women’s basketball. They go hard!!!

I just love the fact that it was a packed house at a girls basketball game. That’s awesome!

There's a record Catlin Clark can't beat. 100 % 3 point shooting.

Just noticed Rickea Jackson taking her distraught teammate under her wing right before the end of the video....awesome leadership, and great friendship, there

That defense was embarrassing Edit: and Tennessee missed two foul shots to ice the game 😂😭 Edit 2: Anyone saying it’s her first 3 ever the shooters defender was under the basket, which means the shooter could have drove in instead of shooting a 3…….

what the actual fck was that defense?!?!

Great coaching by SC...kept the team calm and focused.

That was more exciting than a NBA game 😅

This has me CRYING. NEVER GIVE UP! this is a moment you will have for the rest of your life and... No one can take it away. ❤❤🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Wow. That took the Tennessee coach's breath away.

Wow! She will remember those two missed free throws forever

1. DONT MISS TWO FREETHROWS THAT CAN PUT YOU UP BY 4 AND SEAL THE GAME 2. DONT FOUL WHEN YOU ARE UP BY 2 AND THERE IS ROUGHLY 3 SECONDS LEFT AND THE OTHER TEAM DOESNT HAVE A TIMEOUT AND HAS TO PUSH THE BALL 3. DONT LEAVE ANYBODY OPEN WITH A SECOND LEFT ON THE SHOT CLOCK

Great coaching on this play! Coach Dawn knew they weren't going to guard Cardosa. Great way to have faith in your players!! Go gamecocks

Watched this live as well. People were sprinting around the building. Absolutely wild!!!

The funniest part is all the Tennessee fans celebrating early then immediately after suffer a heartbreaking loss

That was the infamous “Brazilian Hold my Beer” defense 🤣🤣🤣!

Obviously, she was the last one Tennessee was expecting to take that shot. She was as open as Draymond Green be when he shoots a 3 pointer 😂.

What a moment👏🏿‼️

They didn't pressure the inbounds pass, nor did they contest the shot. I understand not fouling, but not moving at all is crazy. Got done bad. Great tv. I enjoyed every second.

This is why I LOVE this game and my Gamecocks...made me nervous though, but we git it done😊

Left her wide open lol

This is better than the NBA. 🎉😮😅

Somebody gotta find #20 lady in the crowd and see if she ok😭😭😭

Uncommon Favor!!!

Man what a shot to save the game but We gotta play better moving forward

Soooo proud of USC and Kamilla! Coach Dawn, you are amazing!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Catch the we got this in the bag wink from the Tennessee coach 🤣

I love how all of the haters was hollering and screaming when the shot was missed😂😂. I wished i was there to see their faces. Especially to two ladies who was celebrating and hugging 😂😂

Watched this like 20x 🔥🔥🔥🔥

How to choke in big moments 101 brought to you by #2 & #15 of the Tennessee Lady Vols.

Wow Congratulations South Carolina!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Idc if the scouter report said she has a 10% chance of making the shot. No way I’m literally not going to contest the shot at all! That was embarrassing 🥴🥴

Assistant coach tried to tell her 2:00 😂

That did not just happen She was left wide open ...... wide open 😊😊😊😊

The best teams find a way to get it done! Let's go Gamecocks!! Couldn't be happier for her.

What kind of inbound defense this… two players not guarding anybody

"first 3 of the season!!" Just epic!

Wow! March madness! Let's go ladies!

Let’s go Kamilla ❤

That was great coaching and scheme for last shot 😂😮

Women’s sports is getting more and more electric

Bro I just noticed at 1:55 that's what she is saying if they switch be ready and they didn't switch and they weren't ready😂😂 the pain coach

Man......I can feel that coaches pain through my screen 😂😂

South Carolina must see tv, Tennessee did a heck of a job til the end how you stop playing completely with still one second left watched her shoot the ball like she supposed to miss

Wide open shot that’s practice

"Never expect the unexpected" Patrick Swayze from Roadhouse

Had Tennessee made both of their free throws, that three-pointer from SC would not have mattered.

People keep talking about the coach leaving her open on the shot but the Vols player missed two free throws that would have given them a 4-point lead. Oh well, live and learn.

Prime example of celebrity too early. 😂 Dawn Stanley is a coaching genius. 💪🏾

The Brazilian Sensation.

#12 double dribbled on that rebound 1:38

Love watching the Tennessee fans hugging each other.

She said coach had her practicing...soooo..it definitely payed off...CONGRATS!!!!

That was unreal 😮

This is why you neverrrrrr count out a player. Everybody on that floor counts!

What a freakin shot!!!!!

MARCH MADNESS!!!!

MARCH!!! Gotta love it

VAI KAMILLAAAAAAA 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

That shows everyone how good SC is under pressure, even at the very end of the game. A true championship team i was pulling for them to win the championship undefeated and they did it.

What a Incredible SEC Woman’s Basketball Tournament Semifinals Instant Classic Never Disappointed Period Incredible Competitive Basketball Game Just Watched at My House

Wonder how mad that lady celebrating all early for Tennessee was

The transition from elation to pain is beautiful

I have watched this over and over again😮🎉❤

It's Kellie Harper's fault TN lost. Tamari Key (TK) was initially guarding Kamilla closer and her coach told her to go "home" (under the basket) instead. You can hear it. Ridiculous.

Omgoodness so happy for Kamilka! After her disappointments for FIBA playing for Brazil, for her to keep calm and lock in is so huge. This is why everyone needs a coach. They see things in you that you would NEVER see.

And THAT'S why practicing free throws is very important. Kids, are you listening?

Cardozo one of my favorite players!!!

Coming back to this after they won the championship! Perfect 38-0!

When I saw the coach I could hear the SWA commercial “WANNA GET AWAY?”

That's what I'm talking about!!!! Way to go South Carolina 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾

The missed free throws didn't help, leaving a player wide open didnt help- But it was fouling w a second left when SC had no timeouts at half court that lost the game

Welcome to MARCH MADNESS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The planets were aligned for South Carolina ! That was an incredible amount of good luck ! That clip will be played by many a coach !!!!!

Bruh Dawn is a beast of a coach

"Holy big shot batman"! 😂

To go undefeated the entire season and win a championship is wild !!! Amazing season

Man, you have to feel bad for Kellie Harper and her team. They knew they had us. They're in total shock how it got away.

That coach was definitely about to cry

Talk about cutting it close.

That 😮is incredible!!! From Brazil.🇧🇷

(2:03) The defense was waiting to hear "Simon says".
