I love this team so bad….

[@lamarrdonald7743]

Love their seriousness

[@bre3365]

I’m just so in love with chole kitts game she a mid range sniper and I was so iffy about her at first but she made me re think cause she been beast-ing on the court this season & I love Te-hina as well with her because a 3 point sniper. I know Indiana is a contender but let’s go at them like we did UNC. Boy that was a hella game right there we dog walked UNC on the court. GO GAMECOCKS #Fams

[@buffiebeasley7424]

That mid range is my favorite shot...noone ever expects it!

[@kenichitamagusuku3194]

Only thing keeping us from winning it all again are the team themselves and the referees with agenda of their own calling fouls on players 5 feet away from the shooters.

[@lamarrdonald7743]

Chloe said she was young but Coach made her grow up. She is not even 20 years old yet.

[@neetrab]

But she IS an adult now.

[@lamarrdonald7743]

@@neetrab no doubt. You can tell how mature and serious she is. That comes from Coach Dawn and Coach Boyer mentoring them

[@undisputedtruth4954]

She's an adult. Young adult or not, she's an adult, and Dawn is as no nonsense as they come. Some young'nz need that, and young women need to get that from a woman who's been there. Men don't usually get it, from women's perspectives, so the coaching may be elite but the actual teaching of life's hard reality might be alien. Men & women tend to have the same goals, but men get no passes. That means the hard truth might seem savagely brutal from a male coach, whereas Dawn would know when to soften the delivery accordingly. That's just the reality of men & women being wired differently. Women know when women need a softer touch, but men might get more assertive in the motivational talks. Not all boys respond well to it, and women can easily interpret extra assertive as aggressive or even heartlessly cruel. I've seen girls quit because the coach thought he was motivating, but the young'n felt alienated.

@@undisputedtruth4954 Based on her recent play she is absorbing the lessons Coach Staley is giving her. I’m looking forward to seeing her next year with about 20 pounds of additional muscle. She will be the next Bree Beal but a killer mid range game

[@Skippcc40]

Under the rug,,not the bus..both ladies look beautiful and are extremely focused

[@michaelgreen8144]

Thet going to smash Indiana

[@MMoses87]

Indiana doesn't have a chance

Caution: Every team has a chance; any opponent one faces you he/she has a chance. Just consider last year's loss. However, I do get your point. If they stay focus, play hard-nosed defense and stick it to them.- and play collectively.

"Just shoot the Blanky Blank!!." ~Coach Staley~

[@surferjason1006]

Great combo with those 2 girls 🤙🏽

[@ShakesTheClown46]

Immaculata College, Delta State, Louisiana Tech, Texas, UConn, Tennessee, Baylor. We’re doing that thing again where we ignore the AIAW years ‘cept for when we’re talking about coaching records. If SC pulls this off it’ll be the eighth program to produce an unbeaten champ. Also, SC made a Final Four before the Dawn era (1980, with Magic’s little sister on the roster). LSU reached a title game before last year (1977, with Lauren Jackson’s mom as one of the stars). And UCLA already has a natty in its back pocket (1978, when the Mothership landed in Oakland and a young Shakes got funked up). All relevant stuff. No good reason to ignore it.

[@GeneralRock114]

Why was Chloe taken out of the starting lineup, and why is Hall still starting??? What exactly does Hall contribute??? She’s just an average scorer and not sure about her defense. SC has been lucky in a couple of game where teams have good perimeter players. If they don’t correct that, Oregon State might take them down Sunday.
