""Super proud of this team, a lot of unknowns coming into the season. Our ranking and what people thought of us was off our history. We had too many holes, but I'm happy we were able to fill them and compete on the third weekend of the NCAA Tournament.""
""You got to keep the game close, got to be able to score. We aren't going to be keeping them from 25 points under their average. You got to go pound for pound and be unafraid playing against an undefeated team.""
""The Gamecocks have so many offensive weapons making them tough to guard. The Horned Frogs did a good job on the South Carolina guards, but had no answer for Edwards and Makeer.""
South Carolina defeated TCU 78-52 to reach the Final Four, led by Joyce Edwards with 24 points and Agot Makeer with 18. The Gamecocks have made six straight Final Four appearances and won two national championships during this period. Coach Dawn Staley expressed pride in her team's ability to overcome challenges this season. South Carolina will face UConn in a rematch of last year's championship game. The Gamecocks showcased their offensive depth, particularly through Edwards and Makeer, who excelled against TCU's defense.
