Kamilla Cardoso's Epic Game-Winning 3 Has South Carolina Fans Eyeing Perfect Season

No. 1 South Carolina remained perfect on Saturday after Kamilla Cardoso's buzzer-beating three helped prevent an upset loss at the hands of unranked Tennessee in the SEC women's basketball tournament semifinal.

With the Gamecocks trailing by two points and 11 seconds remaining, a missed three-pointer from sophomore guard Raven Johnson appeared to end hopes of a comeback. However, two missed free throws by Tennessee gave head coach Dawn Staley's team one last shot.

Johnson inbounded the ball to Cardoso, who connected on a game-winning three with no time remaining. It was the first three-point field goal of her collegiate career, and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Cardoso finished the game with 13 points, five rebounds, one assist, and three blocks on 6-10 shooting.

The result prompted a playful feud between two WNBA legends, as South Carolina alum A'ja Wilson revealed that Tennessee alum Candace Parker called her to celebrate before the final buzzer sounded.

After entering the game at 30-0, the Gamecocks stayed unbeaten and will face off against the winner of the remaining semifinal matchup between Ole Miss and No. 8 LSU in the SEC tournament final.
