“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.
