The Gamecocks scored quickly on multiple possessions, establishing an early 5-point lead.<\/p>\n<p><b>Madina Okot<\/b> came out blazing for the Gamecocks with 5 points and 5 rebounds in just over two minutes of play.

Despite solid efforts from <b>Liv McGill&#8217;s<\/b> early scoring, <b>Florida<\/b> couldn&#8217;t match the Gamecocks&#8217; intensity defensively.<\/p>\n<p><b>McGill<\/b> contributed 4 quick points for the home team, but turnovers plagued the Gators in the opening minutes. <b>Florida<\/b> committed multiple ball-handling errors that allowed the Gamecocks to gain momentum.<\/p>\n<p>The Gators&#8217; offense struggled to find rhythm against South Carolina&#8217;s aggressive defensive setup. Their first-quarter point total clearly reflected the difficulty in establishing offensive flow early.<\/p>\n<h2>Head-to-Head Comparison<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Stat Category<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>South Carolina<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Florida<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Record<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>14-1 (1-0 SEC)<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>12-4 (0-1 SEC)<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>First Quarter FG%<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>33.3%<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>37.5%<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Rebounds<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>12 (7 offensive)<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>4 (1 offensive)<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Turnovers<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>6<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>6<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Assists<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>3<\/b><\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>1<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Rebounding Battle Decides Early Advantage<\/h2>\n<p>The rebounding statistics told the story of South Carolina&#8217;s first-quarter control.
