FORT WORTH, Texas Ashlyn Watkins had her third career dunk, MiLaysia Fulwiley scored 20 points and third-ranked South Carolina overwhelmed No. 9 TCU 85-52 on Sunday night.
Te-Hina Paopao and Raven Johnson each added 11 points, and Chloe Kitts had 12 rebounds for the Gamecocks (9-1).
Hailey Van Lith had 21 points and six assists for the Horned Frogs (9-1), who finished their first week ever as a top 10 team with a lopsided loss against the reigning national champion. They had their second 9-0 start since coach Mark Campbells arrival after going 8-23 the year before that.
Watkins now has a dunk in each of her three seasons with South Carolina.
The 6-foot-3 junior forward had a steal from Madison Conner past midcourt late in the first quarter, then went the other way and dunked with her right hand ahead of 6-7 Sedona Prince trying to catch up to defend the shot.
South Carolina: The Gamecocks have won four in a row by double digits, three against ranked teams, since their 77-62 loss at fifth-ranked UCLA two weeks ago that ended their 43-game winning streak.
TCU: As disappointing as the result was in what many considered the biggest game in program history, this one played at Dickies Arena about 3 1/2 miles from their campus, the Frogs beat then-No. 3 Notre Dame just over a week ago, and also beat No. 13 North Carolina State.
South Carolina opened the second quarter with a 10-0 run and scored the final 11 points for a 44-23 halftime lead.
Conner had seven turnovers and was 1 for 8 shooting. Prince, who averaged 19.5 points and 10.8 rebounds, had six points and two rebounds in 33 minutes.
South Carolina is at home against USF next Sunday, the same day TCU hosts Louisiana Tech.
