The South Carolina Gamecocks came out of the gates firing in their matchup vs. the Queens Royals, grabbing a 25-point lead to start the game before the first quarter ended. That explosive start set the tone for their dominant performance.

By halftime, the Gamecocks had built on that momentum, and the defense held firm to keep Queens at bay. The early surge—transition scoring, smart decision-making, and constant pressure—served as the foundation for the rout.
With the first quarter advantage in hand, South Carolina looked composed and confident. As they push forward through the rest of the game, maintaining that level of intensity will be key if they want to stay in control and finish strong.
