Swatkins… YOU BALLED OUT TODAY! Great game

Love Coach and this team…Coach is so professional and caring…see how she always shows respect for the opponent…

Tessa Johnson is such a a cool headed player. Even with her struggles, she doesn't get inside her own head. She just keeps being Tessa. Big props to the upper class ladies and coaches for continuing to trust and encourage her along.

I just love her voice; it seems so small or maybe young. She doesn't shoot like it though.

Tessa Johnson, thank you for saying Therapy out loud!!!! So many of our student athletes struggle with the mental health part of the game, so thank you!!!!!

Shout out to the brother that keeps getting caught on the mic saying "come on now" in the churchy voice!

Tessa balled out she showed not scare in her game today. Watkins just a nightmare her defense this year is a beast. I am so proud of this team all the around.

Being a die hard Indiana fan I Love this team. Of course Indiana was my favorite but SC ran a close second. I have so much respect for Coach Staley. She has shown respect for the game of women’s basketball, her players, other layers, and other coaches. For Tessa to say who her inspiration came from God and that Christ lived in her, and her in Him makes perfect sense. We all get our talents from God. For Coach Staley to speak of giving God all the Glory rather they win or lose is what having Faith is all about. God knows the outcome and God is always Good!!! He will see you through it!! May God Bless this team throughout the rest of this Tournament keep them well and if it’s his Will to Win it All! Also may God Bless Oregon State and heal their heart, bc this had to hurt. What talent they are Blessed with as well. I’m sure they will be back next year. Happy Easter to All…He Has Risen!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🕊️

Coach Staley just doesn't get enough credit for developing these young ladies into not only a Great Team but Great Women who represent themselves and South Carolina. And look at how Coach just rolls her eyes on how Talkie this team is...Just like a Mom!! They are focused and on Path!!

Coach was preaching the gospel. Tessa preaching the gospel. I love it!! That's the kind of coach you want.

The bench is what’s caring this team and Dawn gets the credit for having them ready. To shoot 20% of your 3’s and still win by 12 is amazing against a team like Oregon State.

Praise God! Uncommon Favor! To God be all the glory!

Yess Dawn! He is risen! The righteous are bold as lions! I love that you are not shrinking back who you are and the reason you are where you are. ❤️

Gotta love Dawn!! ❤🙏

These ladies are absolutely the pride of our university. Go Lady Gamecocks!

I love that coach Staley took a moment at the end to recognize the job the Albany hosts did. I've never heard a coach do that unprompted. Only time we hear about tournament hosts is when they do something wrong. That was just a small act, but it's a reminder of how lucky we are to have coach Staley at South Carolina. She's not just a champion, she's a woman of character who uses her platform to lift up people who deserve recognition. Similar to when she defended Flau'jae after the SEC title game.

Ashlyn & Tessa stepped up. Ashlyn really balled out. That's the thing with this team you never know who is going to step up in each game. Congratulations! Final Four Bound! Gamecock Nation!

Wow amazing performance by the south Carolina Women team this afternoon was a tough and physical and mental game tonight but by the end of the clock they came out in top.Hopefully they will win the championship this year. Great contributions tonight and efforts from Ashlyn,Kamilla and Te-hina tonight.But for me the MVP player goes to Kamilla her 12 points lead South Carolina to the victory and prevented them from being eliminated. But on the defense end this afternoon was a big and great game coming from Ashlyn Watkins with 14 rebounds and 4 blocks she did amazing work on the defense end . The defense MVP goes to Watkins tonight. This is a great afternoon for Gamecocks fans and Dawn Stanley as well.👍

Another great win. Very fortunate... Again in my opinion Kamila Cardosa is the single most important player to this success... However she has to be more physical and aggressive in the post if they are going to win it all... On the offensive side of the court she has to move people and position herself for a higher percentage shot instead of trying to force a shot up where she receives the ball... Don't be afraid to move people to get a better shot... On defense I noticed that she got in foul trouble trying to front a young lady that is 4 inches shorter than her. She didn't need to do that... Just keep her off her spot and defend the rim... And anticipate were the ball is coming off the rim and be deliberate about getting it instead of waiting for it to come to you... I think Dawn Staley and her staff may need to work with her on her aggression, physicality, and positioning on both sides of the court. This is the finals and these teams are leaving it ALL on the court... They are going to be aggressive and physical... Especially in and around the basket so the post players will have to match their physicality and aggression....

Great job SC Gamecocks

Tessa an Ashlyn are STARS

great job players being a gamecock alumni i appreciate it and you girls will be alumni in a few years and will understand. thanks you also coaches great job

No team will play a perfect game. There will be struggle.The question is, how good and how quickly are adjustments made? How quickly are timeouts called and audibles called? And who is going to be the dawg for the night? It’s past x and O now

its so funny how last night i was listening to Coach Dawn talk on the previous interview.. all i could hear was "The Chosen One". I keep saying that zero(0) will be the NCAA championship!

It's not a thing of letting teams get back in the game, and it being a bad habit, it's just that they're playing great teams😂... when you're playing great teams, that's just part of the game. You may make a run, and then the other team may make a run. What great teams do, though, is they don't get too high on the highs when they make a run, and they don't get too low on the lows when the other team makes their runs...USC continues to win games and make it looks so easy most of the time, to where you guys don't realize the greatness and level of the competition they're going up against. That's why Dawn Staley, in my mind, is one of the greatest coaches of all time. Being able to have consistent even against other great coaches and teams

She may be the most talented but is not necessarily the most consistent. Whose minutes is she going take? Johnson plays with composure, and her defense has gotten better, hence the reason she got more minutes this game. Oregon State wasn't killing us from the in the second half because of her D and ability to fight over screens. It's one or done time and possessions are critical, Coach Staley is going to roll with the player that puts us in the best position to win. Who plays more changes each game. We are fortunate that we have quality depth throughout the roster to make the necessary adjustments and not have play deteriorate.
