South Carolina women's basketball live score updates vs Missouri: Gamecocks, Dawn Staley vs Tigers
South Carolina women's basketball will be missing one of its best players when it faces Missouri on Thursday (7 p.m., SEC Network) at Colonial Life Arena in a rematch of the Gamecocks' 81-57 win earlier this season.
The No. 1 Gamecocks (21-0, 9-0 SEC) will be without leading scorer Kamilla Cardoso. The senior center is taking a two-game leave to join the Brazil national team for an Olympic qualifying tournament. Cardoso's 13.8 points per game, 9.8 rebounds per game and 60 blocks are all team bests.
In South Carolina's win at Missouri (11-11, 2-7) on Jan. 11, the Gamecocks didn't need much from Cardoso, who scored seven points with eight rebounds. Junior guard Bree Hall set a career-high with 21 points while forwards Sania Feagin and Ashlyn Watkins each added 10 points.
