The entire 2021-2022 season felt elementary for South Carolina.
From the opening tip in early November, Dawn Staley’s Gamecocks were the best team in women’s college basketball. It was never even close. Ten wins and a 10-0 mark (!) against ranked opponents. Nine total games decided by single digits (including a 7-2 record in such games). Just two losses, while seldom breaking a sweat.
And now, after beating UConn (-3.5 underdogs) and Geno Auriemma, 64-49: The second National Championship Game victory in South Carolina History.
