Can South Carolina sustain the momentum?

South Carolina secured a huge win against LSU on Thursday, marking another great leap in the team's brilliant season. The Gamecocks kept it late to defeat the defending national champion 76-70 on the road, extending their impressive unbeaten run in the ongoing season.

Coach Dawn Staley’s team left no stone unturned against another conference rival as it defeated Vanderbilt 91-74 at home on Sunday. This marked the 16th consecutive win over the Commodores for South Carolina and firmly placed the program at the pinnacle of the AP Poll.

Once again, the team received all 35 first-place votes from the national media panel, showcasing the level of confidence they've commanded this season. Led by Syracuse transfer Kamilla Cardoso, the Gamecocks look unstoppable as the season progresses.

It remains to be seen what South Carolina gets to achieve at the end of the season and whether the momentum can help lead them to the national title.
