South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston leaves game after hard fall

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina forward Aliyah Boston did not return to the court for the second half after taking a hard fall and heading to the locker room against Hampton on Sunday. The Most Outstanding Player of last spring’s NCAA Tournament was driving for the basket when she fell and took several moments to get up after getting fouled. Boston, the top-ranked Gamecocks’ 6-foot-5 senior, missed two foul shots, then ran down the floor on defense. South Carolina coach Dawn Staley subbed out Boston, who walked into the tunnel toward the locker room.
