Last season, the Gamecocks posted an 85-66 win over Mississippi State in Columbia (1/7/24) behind four starters netting double-figure points, including a team-high 15 from Bree Hall. Both teams shot over 50 percent in the first quarter, but the Gamecock defense slowed the Bulldogs over the remainder of the game to steadily build the lead.
