2023-24 NCAAW USC vs Tennessee - Kamilla Cardoso Three Pointer

The USC Gamecocks Women's Basketball team face the Tennessee Lady Volunteers for a third time in the semifinals of the SEC Tournament at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, NC.
The Gamecocks are ahead by as many as 23 points but the Lady Volunteers outplay the Gamecocks in the second half to lead 73-71 with under 4 seconds remaining. Tennessee misses a pair of free throws and Milaysia Fulwiley is fouled with 1.1 seconds to go. Raven Johnson inbounds the ball for one final shot attempt.

[@888jerm888]

Give props to the referee for not calling a double dribble on Fulweiley because there was one. ℹ didn't notice it at first in live action, but she did have both hands 🙌 on the ball for a split second. Some of the fans on that side were probably yelling for the call to be made but Kellie and her team didn't see it because it happened on the opposite side from her bench.

[@JanainThomas]

So, you saw it too. I noticed it as soon as she started dribbling. Thank god the ref didn't notice or call it. In retrospect, if they hadn't fouled her, I don't think she makes the shot, and time would have run out. Some things are just meant to be.

[@maxhayashi4078]

If Camila Cardoso had never got a 3 point shooter in the season how come the last ball was passed to her??? That's an enigma.

[@sjaykay9884]

Damn, Fulwiley (sp?) walked like a mug after she got the rebound. So many things went wrong/crazy in those last few seconds of the game. Missing two free throws is crazy though. Then the travel that wasn’t call. Then the bad defensive strategy. Only a three can beat you. Even if the defender comes out to the perimeter to guard Kamilla, what’s the worst she can do in 1.1 seconds? But you leave her wide open with the defender in the key…for what?! And why no pressure on the inbound?

[@Will-ki4mi]

Mulkey said Johnson was smart to stop Fulwiley, who would have had an uncontested layup otherwise. Mulkey added that she understood emotions getting high at such a critical juncture of the game. "It's ugly, it's not good, no one wants to be a part of that," she said. "But I'll tell you this, I wish [Cardoso] would've pushed Angel Reese. If you're 6-8, don't push somebody that little. That was uncalled for in my opinion. Let those two girls who were jawing, let them go at it."

[@chadmorris4532]

This is pathetic to watch lady vols literally just stood there not a single vol was moving on that last play

[@tko8218]

Cardosa has never shot a 3-pointer in her career. She's a 6'7" center. No one expected it. Coach Dawn Stanley rolled the dice on this one. It worked!

@tko8218 understandable but this is south carolina undefeated in 2 years and vols have the lead and you double team the 2 point play and give up the game winning shot makes zero sense 2 points tied the game but lady vols thought the same thing ah she wont make it ao no point in guarding her or even attempt to

Why would they foul Fulwhiley ?

[@spurman20]

Because they had fouls to give. Disrupt any fast paced push that may result in a shot attempt where they could be caught out of position, all without having to send us to the line to shoot free throws. Tenn played that situation correctly for the most part. It’s a solid plan when you have fouls to give until something crazy like this happens 😂 GO COCKS

[@jwthompson9571]

Because they didn’t wanna buzzer beater at half court by a true freshman…🤷🏽‍♂️

[@tko8218]

Fulwhiley is very fast and is a clutch shooter. The game might have ended with her getting a 3 pointer as well.

They better foul fulwiley, if she was in the game longer it wouldn't have been close at the end.

[@tdvols]

Kelly Harper should just pack her bags! Why foul at mid court. You basically gave them a time out at half court and to top it off you don't guard the inbounds player and decide to play no defense on the last play. Holy crap Harper you just blew it for these players who played their butts off!

[@jayervin6181]

Tennessee blew it I wouldn't have fouled and not play defense

[@GodLovesComics]

Totally disagree. She out-coached Dawn Staley and Rickea jackson was by far the best player on the court. I don't care who is the coach, if you have a team's lumbering Center catching and shooting outside the three point line, that's exactly what you want. Especially a player who hadn't made one all year. That's called sheer, dumb luck. SC will lose by 20 to LSU if they play like this.

[@disheemthomas4553]

​@@GodLovesComicsLike they said, it was stupid 2 foul a player from that distance w little time left when SC had O TOs 2 advance the ball. Make her take the shot. Then there's no reason 2 guard a player inbounding from behind half court. You guard 5 vs 4 & attempt 2 force an errant pass or TO. That's what you want. SC beat Tenn in every category except FT & 3 pt stats. Tenn had 1 more defensive reb off of 14 more shot attempts from SC. The stats plus Tenn having the best performer "by far" & the end result does not support the out coaching claim 2 me, but maybe.

[@matthewlear4518]

Absolutely and they didn't guard her either she made them look like idiots with 1.1 seconds to go

[@GodLovesComics]

@@disheemthomas4553 I think that's reasonable but also arguable. If you have fouls to give and don't use them and USC hits the shot people would go insane as to why they never fouled. Fulwiley is the fastest player on the court and if she is not fouled I think he has a running shot just beyond the 3-point line and she's a helluvalot more likely to hit that shot that Cardoza is from three. And I think given how wildly disjointed USC looked on offense in the second half that Staley should have played Fulwiley much more and probably Kitts as well because they were getting nothing from Pao Pao (1-8 for 3 points) and Bre Hall (6-points) while Kitts was 4-6 in just 17-minutes and Fulwiley had 13 points in just 13 minutes. I know it's a Sophomore and a Freshman, but both looked more composed than some of the vets that were throwing up bricks and making terrible passes. Granted hindsight is 20/20 and they won a game that really they could have lost and it wouldn't have mattered. But the way they've looked down the stretch, doesn't bode well for the tournament. Unless they really clean it up.

[@MissiSIMPi]

0:05. "They did not call it!" Correct. It was a double-dribble before the foul.

[@XMAN4708]

[@sunnyredz64]

Horrible defense….

[@GodLovesComics]

Man, did they stink it up on offense. Losing a 23-point lead in the women's game is like blowing a 60-point lead in the NBA. But they found a way to blow it and only won because of sheer luck. I think they got exposed as a team that has no go-to star when the game is really close. Teams like Iowa, LSU and Tennessee have legitimate superstar players who can create their own shots. Carolina doesn't have anyone like that except Fulwiley who is much smaller and still just a Freshman.
