- DURHAM, N.C. (AP) - Kamilla Cardoso had 15 points and 14 rebounds to help No. 1 South Carolina beat Duke 77-61 on Sunday.
Cardoso, who had her fifth double-double of the season, was one of five players to score in double figures for the Gamecocks (7-0). Chloe Kitts added 14 points and eight rebounds, Te-Hina Paopao scored 12 points, Bree Hall had 13, and Raven Johnson chipped in 11.
Reigan Richardson led Duke (5-3) with 17 points while knocking down a career-best five 3-pointers. Delaney Thomas scored 11 of her 13 points in the first half for the Blue Devils.
Drama ensued before the halftime buzzer sounded. In the final play of the second quarter, Duke’s Jadyn Donovan blocked a layup attempt by Kitts and stared down the South Carolina forward as she lay on the floor, causing a bit of a kerfuffle. South Carolina’s Johnson then motioned for the referees to give Donovan a technical, and they obliged, but gave the Gamecocks guard one too.
The Gamecocks then started the third quarter on a 12-3 run - highlighted by a 3-pointer from Paopao - to take a 15-point lead, the biggest advantage for either side in the game.
Duke battled back from that deficit to tie the game up with 7:43 to play after Richardson sank a shot from behind the arc, but South Carolina responded with a 15-2 burst to take another double-digit lead. Cardoso had eight points in that final stretch for South Carolina.

Those girls are tough 😊
Great match up.
That's what happens when you trash talk with South Carolina
Go South Carolina
Dang the free throw count in this game…very interesting lol… nothing new though 😂🤔
5 minutes left and Duke takes their 1st free throw, by then SC had shot 20. Women's College Basketball Refs are showing favoritism or are of questionable competence.
Did you even watch the game? Describe an instance of an uncalled foul and give us the time on the video.
@@tko8218 I'm sorry, please forgive me but I do not respond well to condescension. So please rephrase your query as a request using the word please and not as a command and I'll take a hard look, maybe I was wrong.
Spur of the moment comments, I guess. I can see that Duke is a pretty good team overall. The refs were a non-issue in terms of the outcome IMO. I'll leave it at that. @@jameslaughter5183
SC got fouls off paint points mostly. That was the difference, Duke didn't have nearly as many attempts in the paint, alot of jump shots.
The SC MVP of this game? Definitely the refs.
