No. 2 South Carolina made another emphatic statement with a 101-60 win over No. 13 Oklahoma on Sunday. That 41-point margin of victory is the largest in school history against a ranked opponent.

South Carolina improved to 18-1 on the season with its only loss coming against UCLA in late November. Dawn Staley’s team has been taking care of business thanks to its deep roster that shares minutes and points every night.

“I’m very confident with the entire roster,” Staley said postgame. “They have a way of playing well together. They prep extremely well. They are finding their footing. They want each other to play well.”

The SEC is a tough conference, and Oklahoma was the Gamecocks’ third consecutive AP top 25 opponent. South Carolina has passed every test with flying colors, and here are some impressive numbers from its historic win over the Sooners.
