South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley celebrates with her team after the Final Four college basketball championship game against Iowa in the women's NCAA Tournament, Sunday, April 7, 2024, in Clevelan

The national champion Gamecocks, fresh off their victory over Iowa in the championship game, received all 35 first-place votes from a national media panel.
