Columbia, S.C. (WOLO) — Tina Roy’s career-high 7 three-pointers and 21 points helped #2-ranked USC blow out Arkansas 85-32 Sunday afternoon at the Colonial Life Arena.  The win in the SEC opener was the Gamecocks 41st straight at home.  Carolina improved to 13-0 on the season, matching the USC men’s team.  It’s the best combined start for a school in SEC history.  The Tennessee men and women got off to a 25-0 start in 1997-98.

USC outscored Arkansas 64-16 after the game was tied at 9 going into the 2nd quarter.  Five Gamecocks scored in double figures.

Carolina plays again Thursday at Vanderbilt.
