LOS ANGELES (AP) — Top-ranked South Carolina felt something it hasn't known in over 2 1/2 years.
The sting of defeat after being thoroughly dominated in a 77-62 loss to No. 5 UCLA on Sunday.
Gone was the overall 43-game winning streak. Done was the run of 33 consecutive road victories. And the No. 1 ranking it's held for 23 consecutive polls will disappear Monday.
“This is what we usually do to teams,” coach Dawn Staley said. “We were on the receiving end of it.”
