Joyce Edwards poured in a career-high 34 points on a blistering 14-for-15 shooting night, and No. 3 South Carolina hit the century mark for the fifth time by blasting South Florida 103-44 on Thursday in Tampa, Fla.
Edwards missed her second shot of the night before making her final 13 attempts, all from inside the arc. Her memorable night led South Carolina (11-1) to an overwhelming 74-28 advantage in points in the paint.
Ta'Niya Latson put up 15 points, four assists and a season-best six steals as she helped the Gamecocks turn 23 South Florida turnovers into 38 points.

No. 13 Vanderbilt 64, Albany 35
Mikayla Blakes tallied 17 points, six steals, four rebounds and four assists, and the Commodores used their defense to defeat the Great Danes in Nashville, Tenn.
Aubrey Galvan scored 10 of her 15 points in the first quarter alone and Vanderbilt (11-0) overcame a somewhat sluggish start on offense, outscoring the visitors 34-15 after halftime. Aiyana Mitchell had a career-high 14 points off the bench.
Delanie Hill scored 15 points and Lara Langermann scored 10 for Albany (9-3), but the rest of their teammates went 2-for-25 for 10 points. Langermann lost nine turnovers.
No. 15 Baylor 77, Southern 60
Bella Fontleroy compiled 21 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three steals, and the Bears pulled away from the Jaguars in Waco, Texas.
Baylor (11-2) also got 15 points from Kayla Nelms, 13 from Darianna Littlepage-Buggs and 11 from Yuting Deng. The Bears only led by six late in the third quarter before Nelms' three-point play ignited a quick 11-0 run, and they took a 17-point advantage into the fourth period.

No. 21 Ohio State 79, Norfolk State 45

Ohio State (10-1) gave up the first four points of the game before Jaloni Cambridge's personal 7-0 run put the Buckeyes ahead for good. She finished with 11 points and eight rebounds and Dasha Biriuk scored 10, as Ohio State had 16 steals and outrebounded Norfolk State 55-32.
