The Southeastern Conference has postponed Thursday night's women's basketball game between No. 5 LSU and No. 2 South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina, until Friday because of winter weather. The decision comes a day after a winter storm dropped about a foot of snow in parts of south Louisiana and made travel hazardous in subtropical communities that possess little in the way of snow-clearing equipment for roads and airports.

The Gators started slow but ended the game with a 22-0 edge in fast-break points. The Gamecocks remained winless in SEC play.

South Carolina needed something positive. Not that the Gamecocks were left for dead, but things couldn’t have gotten much worse. They hadn’t won an SEC game, let a monumental upset against Auburn slip through their fingers and were coming off a loss to Oklahoma that included surrendering 15-straight points late in the game.
