COLUMBIA, S.C. — Tessa Johnson scored 16 points, and No. 6 South Carolina claimed a share of the Southeastern Conference regular-season championship with a 78-66 victory over No. 15 Kentucky. No. 1 Texas defeated Florida 72-46, so the Longhorns and Gamecocks both finished 15-1 in conference play. They split the season series, but South Carolina won a coin flip and will be the No. 1 seed for this week's SEC tournament in Greenville. Te-Hina Paopao added 13 points and Chloe Kitts had 12 points and 10 rebounds for South Carolina, which has won at least a share of the regular-season title for the past four seasons. Clara Strack scored 23 points and Georgia Amoore had 16 points for Kentucky.
