The question is South Carolina women team going to work hard in the summer and get better and you get better by practicing and workout in the weight room on her legs and mid range game. For South Carolina to Separate themselves from the pack, Aliyah Boston must become a 20 points a game and 12 rebounds a game player. Carolina needs six players that can put the ball in the basket.

SC played their hearts out and Boston played a hell of a game. I know she was devastated for missing that putback. But that's basketball. It either goes in, or it doesn't. All you can do is the right thing. And she played the right way 100% until the buzzer sounded, she gave it her all

Well, at least the push in the back worked out for SC. If it's called, South Carolina would have gone to the line and scored either 0, 1, or 2. But instead they got possession after the block and then scored a 3.

Dawn Staley you need a team that can go ten deep into your bench and the reasons why Stanford was able to beat your team and Arizona because they coach done a great job of using her bench for rebounds, defense, loose balls and scoring was the difference, besides the kick Ball and HALEY JONES SHOT off a offensive rebound at the end you called a prayer and that one rebound your team didn't get was the one that cost them the lead. The kick Ball you didn't challenge gave them advantage and two points. South Carolina will improve next and so will a lot of other college teams.
