Fri Jan 24 13:40:00 UTC 2025: **No. 2 South Carolina Gamecocks to Face No. 5 LSU Tigers in Crucial SEC Showdown**

COLUMBIA, SC – The No. 2 South Carolina Gamecocks and No. 5 LSU Tigers will clash in a highly anticipated women’s college basketball game this Friday at 5:00 PM EST, a reschedule due to Winter Storm Enzo. The game, originally slated for Thursday, will be broadcast on ESPN and streamed via the ESPN app.

This top-5 matchup pits two of the SEC’s top contenders for the national championship against each other. A victory for South Carolina would place them in sole possession of first place in the SEC, extending their impressive regular season conference winning streak to 54 games – an all-time SEC record. The Gamecocks are currently on a 12-game winning streak and are seeking their 17th consecutive victory over LSU.

Both teams enter the game relatively healthy. South Carolina’s Ashlyn Watkins remains out for the season due to an ACL tear, but no other Gamecocks are listed on the injury report. For LSU, only guard Izzy Besselman will miss the game due to a continuing heart condition.

The game promises a thrilling contest between two powerhouse programs, led by renowned coaches Dawn Staley (South Carolina) and Kim Mulkey (LSU).
