WBB PostGame: (Arkansas) Dawn Staley News Conference 02/29/24

South Carolina Head Coach Dawn Staley met with members of the media following Thursday Night's 98-61 win over Arkansas

What I admire and respect most about this great coach is how she turns girls into women who are expected to do all the right things on and off the court. She gives each player a fair opportunity to show themselves, but they must prove themselves. Dawn grew up in North Philly and was undoubtedly faced with a choice of going in wrong or right direction every single day, and she selected the right path and worked so hard to stay on that path. Those who play for her will be better people.

There will never be another Coach Dawn Staley in this ERA!!!!! I love it! She is the definition of EPIC!

[@cheryldurham6021]

Excellent game. Congratulations on the win. Love the manner in which Staley complimented the opponents.

[@teeteetyler5372]

That is one of the main things that make me respect her the most outside of how she speaks so much positivity into her team even when she knows they didnt play to their full potential. She always finds the good even in a not so great situation.

Coach your rotation is everything! So exciting to watch it come together. Letting number 20 start today was exciting as I have said from the beginning of the season that this will be number 2 and 20 breakout season. I can't see anybody stopping us from reaching the ultimate goal this year. Let's go Gamecocks!

[@bobbysmith3196]

Awesome to have a “Team” in which Our HOF Coach can compliment these Youngsters and it seems to inspire them instead of the opposite effect!!! What an Outstanding Bunch of Young Ladies!!! True Team-Mates!!! Great Job Team Coaches and Staff at the University of South Carolina 😊 Spurs Up☝️ Go Gamecocks!!! 👍🏀🏆

DOMINATION IN THE PAINT (56) points!

[@teeteetyler5372]

Facts Ashlyn is gonna be a force to reckon with. I see her stepping up in the line with Aliyah Boston.

[@eroomjennings]

I have the upmost respect for this coach. She teaches her players respect for their opponents and fairness in the game. A great way to play the game! Way to go Dawn!!

If you take the 3 pointers away from pow pow, bree, Tessa we've lost 1/2 of the games we've played . best move dawn has made is 3 pt shooterssss....GO GAMECOCKS

[@kendraehiers8332]

Sports don’t work like that my guy, that just means Dawn would’ve found different ways to score

[@user-ss7xe5mi2p]

@@kendraehiers8332 if it's doesn't work like that then why are we 29 an 0 ???? Cause we've added 3 pt $hooting to floor this year more than any other year which we were lacking previously.correrct???

[@kendraehiers8332]

@@user-ss7xe5mi2p you can’t predict we lose half games if they don’t score those threes. Last year we didn’t and still went undefeated in regular season, simple. If one thing isn’t working you go to something else that does

[@deadlycupofJOE]

​@user-ss7xe5mi2p lol but we were 29-0 last year as well but without the 3 pt shooting

Are they players not doing post game on purpose coach.. we love to hear from the kids... great personalities

[@2muchtequela464]

Anybody know why Chloe didnt start?

[@terrance4real1]

feagan been balling out lately and showing leadership, it wasn’t a big game and Arks attendance is trash. great time to put her in as starter. Chloe will start against Tennessee tho, bigger game bigger crowd

[@machenwa6934]

Arkansas fan base is wack..Number 1 team in the nation and they still didn’t come out....gym had like 100 people in there tops.....and what's up with the reporters not gettin the scoop on Coach Dawn's Milaysia shirt. #gogamecocks

[@helenoftroy1227]

I am a diehard Gamecocks fan as well as a Lady Hogs fan. I was stunned by the attendance. 😮

[@jimmybaker4605]

Only 1 Block Shot.

[@kenichitamagusuku3194]

It’s not easy blocking 3’s

[@vikb3131]

Seriously? 37 pt win, 60% fg %; 42% 3 pt%; 53 rebs; 23 assists......😅.

[@wandarood1443]

Hard to block shots against a team that didn't score many 2's.

[@jimmybaker4605]

My, My Seriously !! A Fact. Check The Boxscore. Doesn't Take Much To Set You Off.

[@vanessaellis7088]

Check The Boxscore. Arkansas took (41) 3's

[@ethantremblay6563]

The way Coach @staley05 and her staff makes substitutions in games is flawless. I love the fact everybody plays in the games even if it’s a small amount of minutes. The true definition of team. 🫡😘🥰😍
