Aliyah Boston sets South Carolina record with 73rd double-double

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Aliyah Boston had her record-setting 73rd double-double with 13 points and 14 rebounds as No. 1 South Carolina moved to 20-0 with a dominant 92-46 women’s basketball victory over Arkansas on Sunday.

Zia Cooke scored 24 points to lead the Gamecocks (8-0 Southeastern Conference), who won their 26th straight and seventh in a row over the Razorbacks (17-5, 4-3). And just like much of the past four seasons, the 6-foot-5 Boston was right in the center of things.

Boston, who tied the school mark set by Sheila Foster from 1979 to ’82 at Vanderbilt this past Thursday, came out quickly with seven points and three boards in the first quarter. She was up to 11 points and six rebounds at the break.

Most Career Double-Doubles – SEC History

2005-08 Sylvia Fowles LSU 86
1982-85 Janet Harris UGA 78
2020-23 Aliyah Boston SC 73
2016-19 Teaira McCowan MSST 70

Boston clinched the record with three rebounds on one offensive possession that she finished with a basket. She was taken out with 1 minute, 18 seconds left in the third quarter to a loud ovation from the crowd — and South Carolina cruising 73-33.

Foster, now second in South Carolina double-doubles, was in attendance. She smiled and waved to the crowd after Boston passed her.

“Good players don’t player hate,” Foster told WIS News 10 after the game. “I had to break somebody’s record, somebody’s double-double, somebody’s rebounding, it just knocked me down one notch. And I’m really, really happy for her because I held it for 40-and-a-half years.

“…It’s all in the Gamecock family. It’s all in the Gamecock house.”

Boston is 13 away from catching LSU great Sylvia Fowles for the SEC mark of 86 double-doubles set from 2004 to ’08.

The NCAA mark is way out of reach. Oklahoma’s Courtney Paris had 128 from 2006 to ’09, and Boston is widely expected to be the WNBA’s No. 1 overall pick after this season.

Cooke, the team’s top scorer this season, had 19 points by halftime as South Carolina blew things open in the second quarter by outscoring Arkansas 28-7 to lead 53-24.

Kamilla Cardoso, South Carolina’s 6-foot-7 backup, ended with 12 points and tied her career best with 16 rebounds.

Samara Spencer had 15 points to lead Arkansas, which was outrebounded 74-17 overall and 32-2 on offensive boards.
