Raven Johnson scored 22 points, Joyce Edwards had a double-double and No. 3 South Carolina held off No. 6 LSU 83-77 in the first semifinal of the SEC women's tournament Saturday in Greenville, S.C.
Edwards finished with 18 points and 11 rebounds, Ta'Niya Latson added 19 points and Tessa Johnson scored 11 for the top-seeded Gamecocks (30-2), who won their 12th consecutive game. They will play either No. 4 Texas or No. 24 Ole Miss in the championship game Sunday.
MiLaysia Fulwiley scored 24 points, Jada Richard added 17 and Mikaylah Williams had 14 for the fourth-seeded Tigers (27-4), who lost to South Carolina for the second time in three weeks after falling 79-72 on Feb. 14 in Baton Rouge, La.
LSU started the fourth quarter with a 9-4 spurt that tied the score at 63 with seven minutes remaining, but Edwards' jumper produced the eighth and final lead change in a game that also featured nine ties.
