"The No. 3 Gamecocks clinched at least a tie for the championship with their 85-48 victory over Ole Miss, but they want to win the title outright, which they can do this week when they host Missouri. "Hopefully, we can get that done Thursday, and we'll make sure we jump around because it's an incredible feat in this conference," South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said. "I don't want us to take our foot off the gas because when you can control your own destiny, you should take advantage of it.""
"Last season, South Carolina tied Texas for the SEC regular-season title at 15-1 as both lost only to the other in conference play. The SEC tournament No. 1 seed then had to be decided by a coin flip, which was won by South Carolina. "We don't want to go down that route again," Staley said. South Carolina stands at 13-1 in league play, with its only loss coming in overtime at Oklahoma on Jan. 22. Texas is 11-3 after its 92-42 victory over Mississippi State on Sunday. Vanderbilt entered Sunday 10-3."
