How South Carolina's Agot Makeer helped slow USC's Jazzy Davidson in top freshman matchup
South Carolina women's basketball freshman Agot Makeer thought the matchup with USC star Jazzy Davidson, also a freshman, was 'fun.'
COLUMBIA — To advance to the Sweet 16 of the Women's NCAA Tournament , South Carolina women's basketball had to stop Southern Cal freshman phenom Jazzy Davidson . The No. 1 recruit from the Class of 2025 was coming off a 31-point night in the first round of March Madness.
But South Carolina freshman Agot Makeer did her part to make sure Davidson didn't have any repeat success in the second round. In the 101-61 victory for the No. 1 seed Gamecocks (33-3) on March 23, Davidson didn't score until the 6:20 mark of the second quarter.
She finished with 16 points on 5-of-15 shooting, and 10 of her points came after South Carolina led by at least 30. "I think the game plan (against) every team is to slow down their best player, especially (for) me," Makeer said. "I was motivated going in.
She's my class, so just getting to play against her again was fun. " Makeer was the No. 5 overall player in the 2025 class.
