COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — When the shots wouldn’t fall, No. 1 South Carolina relied on its defense, which was more than enough against South Dakota State.Kamilla Cardoso had 23 points, 10 rebounds and six blocks while Raven Johnson had 18 points and five steals as the Gamecocks overcame a poor early shooting performance to defeat the Jackrabbits 78-38 on Monday night. South Carolina had only six field goals in the first quarter and 15 by halftime, a 33% showing for a team that came in seventh in the country in shooting at 53.1%. “When you don’t see a shot go in, of course, you get down,” Johnson said. “So I think, you go get a steal, go get an easy two points.”That approach turned things around for South Carolina (4-0). It didn’t help the Gamecocks that they were without their most reliable outside shooter in Oregon transfer Te-Hina Paopao, who was sidelined with an ankle injury. Paopao started the first three games and went 10 of 17 on 3s.Minus Paopao, the Gamecocks m...
