South Carolina s 12-game win streak is no more after the top-ranked Gamecocks suffered a 63-59 overtime defeat to No. 2 UConn on Monday night at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut.
Paige Bueckers has lived up to the hype as a true freshman, and her legend continues to grow. The 5 11 guard displayed a level of poise belying her years, posting a game-high 31 points along with six steals, five assists and four rebounds.
Bueckers put the finishing touches on the victory with a three-point heave as the shot clock wound down with 10.8 seconds left in overtime.

A year ago almost to the day, the South Carolina Gamecocks defeated the Connecticut Huskies for the first time in program history before a sold-out, hometown Colonial Life Arena crowd.
The top-ranked freshman recruiting class of 2019-20 featured Aliyah Boston (a versatile post), Zia Cooke (a high-scoring guard) and Brea Beal (a defensive menace), who played with poise and confidence alongside steady-minded seniors Tyasha Harris (point guard) and Mikiah Herbert Harrigan (forward).
