Looking At Each Team
South Carolina
No. 1 seed South Carolina Gamecocks are scheduled to start against the No. 16 seed Mercer Bears on Sunday, Mar. 21 at 6:00 p.m.
The Gamecocks are the No.1 seed once again and have had a stellar season with only four losses and twenty-two wins. The team had an average of 76.8 points per game with a scoring margin of +17.5 throughout the season. The Gamecocks will have to play without senior guard Lele Grissett who suffered a leg injury in the SEC Tournament championship game on Sun, Mar. 7.
“What you saw gives Black women hope,” Staley said with pride.
It was Staley s Gamecocks who used a late run in the third quarter to take control and held on to beat the 16th ranked Bulldogs 67-62 continuing their unprecedented run of six SEC tourney titles in seven seasons.
Taylor was disappointed at the result, not the statement made by the two women leaders. She remembers as a high school start in Mississippi that she never saw two Black head coaches in a Power Five conference title game. Taylor is grateful young people have a different image going forward.
“You can t dream what you can t see,” said Taylor, in her sixth season at Georgia.
