The Longhorns' win shifts the picture at the top of women’s college basketball with only a handful of regular-season games to play.

South Carolina (22-2, 10-1 SEC) fought back in the second half after trailing by as many as 10, but the Gamecocks were unable to claw all the way back. They tied the game a handful of times in the third and fourth quarters and trailed by two points with 14 seconds left in the game.
