After Chloe Kitts delivered a fiery and dominant performance on the court, Collin Murray-Boyles showed his support in the simplest yet most powerful way. The South Carolina forward took to social media to send his girlfriend a two-word message: “Pure dominance.”

His words perfectly captured Kitts’ intensity and skill as she led her team with unwavering determination. The message quickly caught fans’ attention, highlighting the couple’s strong bond and mutual admiration for each other’s success in the game.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Sania Feagin scored 22 points, Chloe Kitts had 16 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists, and No. 6 South Carolina beat Mississippi 75-59 on Thursday night.

The win kept the Gamecocks (26-3, 14-1 Southeastern Conference) tied with No. 1 Texas at the top the league standings.

Feagin finished 10 of 13 from the field as South Carolina expanded a 37-33 halftime lead, closing with a 20-12 surge in the final period.

Sira Thienou led Ole Miss (18-9, 9-6) with 15 points, and Christeen Iwuala added 10 points with nine rebounds.

The Rebels forced 15 turnovers and blocked nine shots but shot only 37% from the field. South Carolina shot 45% from the field but was 13 of 25 in the second half.

Takeaways

South Carolina: Grinding out a road win against an inspired crowd and a certain NCAA Tournament team was impressive. South Carolina locked up one of the top four seeds, earning a double-bye in the SEC Tournament. After losing two of three starts in mid-February, the defending national champions appear to be trending up again.

Ole Miss: The loss will drop the Rebels into a five-team race for the four single-bye slots in the SEC Tournament. The defense provided another stingy performance for 30 minutes, but offensive consistency remains an issue.
