The Tigers’ perfect, 23-0 start to the season came to an end on Sunday night when they ran into the meat-grinder that is the top-ranked, defending national champion South Carolina Gamecocks.

The Tigers still remain in range for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, though they may need to win a rematch against the Gamecocks in the SEC Tournament.
