Kamilla Cardoso joins postgame after hitting the game-winning 3-pointer to save the No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks’ undefeated season with a last-second buzzer-beater to take down the 5th-seeded Tennessee Volunteers, 74-73 in the SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament Semifinals.
Kamilla Cardoso banks in her first 3-pointer of the season at the buzzer as No. 1 South Carolina keeps its perfect season intact with a win vs. Tennessee.
