The Gamecocks are averaging 9.7 blocks per game. Last season they set an NCAA record by averaging 8.8 blocks per game.

Te-hina Paopao is shooting 52.8% from three. The program single-season record is 54.1% by Tiffany Mitchell in 2013-14. Mitchell didn’t shoot much, and was 40-74, while Paopao is already 28-53. Tessa Johnson is hitting 53.8% (7-13), but may not reach the required minimum of 30 attempts. Mitchell is the only player in program history with at least 30 attempts to make more than half her threes in a season.

Raven Johnson is averaging 6.2 assists per game, which would tie for the third-best season average in program history.  Her assist-to-turnover ratio is just barely under 3.0, which would be second to Tyasha Harris’ 3.2 in 2018-19. 

Kamilla Cardoso is averaging 3.36 blocks, which would be a new single-season record, passing A’ja Wilson’s 3.2 in 2017-18). Ashlyn Watkins is averaging 2.82, which would put her in the top five.
