The No. 1 team in women’s college basketball will return to the court tonight.
With a 14-0 record and the top spot in the USA TODAY Coaches Poll, South Carolina will aim to continue its undefeated run when it heads west to the SEC’s other Columbia to take on Missouri Thursday night at Mizzou Arena in Columbia, Missouri.
Coach Dawn Staley’s Gamecocks have exhibited every bit of promise and hope they carried with them into the 2023-24 season, which they began as the No. 4 team in the country.

South Carolina has won four games against ranked opponents this season, none of which were closer than seven points. In those victories against Notre Dame, Maryland, North Carolina and Utah, the Gamecocks won by an average of 20.8 points per game.
They’re off to a 2-0 start in SEC play, with wins last week over Florida and Mississippi State that were decided by a combined 42 points.
South Carolina has reached those marks with a balanced offense, one in which five players are averaging at least 10 points per game. Senior center Kamilla Cardoso leads the team in both scoring (13.6 points per game) and rebounding (10.7 per game).
Missouri enters the matchup at 9-6 overall and 0-2 against SEC teams, with both losses coming by at least 15 points. The Tigers lost their lone meeting with the Gamecocks last season 81-50.

Damon Wilson II, the player at the center of a lawsuit showdown with Georgia over his transfer to Missouri last year, is planning to re-enter the portal, a source briefed on the decision said.
Wilson figures to be a premium target for teams that need an edge rusher: He led Missouri with nine sacks this season, which was tied for third in the SEC. The news of his plans was reported by On3 on Tuesday afternoon. But his decision to enter is more intriguing given his ongoing legal dispute with Georgia over his exit from that program last year.
Wilson spent his first two seasons in Athens. He transferred to Missouri last January. In October, Georgia sued him, seeking $390,000 in damages from Wilson for leaving the team after the program said he signed an agreement to return for the 2025 season. Georgia filed to compel Wilson to arbitration.

Wilson answered on Dec. 23 by filing a lawsuit against Georgia in Boone County, Mo. Wilson’s attorneys alleged a civil conspiracy by Georgia’s athletic department and collective to “penalize Wilson for his decision to transfer.” The lawsuit also alleged the agreement Wilson signed with Georgia in December 2024 was not a contract.
This was believed to be the first time a player and a school took each other to court over a transfer decision and figures to be closely watched. Wilson leaving Missouri would not end the court proceedings.
Wilson’s legal representatives did not offer immediate comment on Tuesday afternoon.
