As South Carolina prepares to face Texas in the Final Four, the Gamecocks are motivated by past defeats to the Longhorns and other teams this season. With a 34-3 record, they recently rallied through three inconsistent tournament games but acknowledge the need to play their best basketball. MiLaysia Fulwiley emphasized the desire to reverse earlier outcomes and ensure they perform at a higher level against their opponents this time, driven by the memory of previous matches.
'I think that motivates us to want to play better,' MiLaysia Fulwiley said Thursday during media availability. 'We didn't have our great games versus them, and the teams that we played had outstanding games.'
'We just have to go out there and show that our best basketball has yet to come. So it motivates me because we owe them one.'
South Carolina enters the Final Four not playing its best basketball. The Gamecocks needed to rally to win their past three NCAA tournament games after playing inconsistently for large stretches.
After their loss to UConn in February, South Carolina won its eight games by double digits and did not have to sweat it out in the fourth quarter.
