From winning the big games to snipping the nylon in just the right spot, the Gamecocks have perfected what it means to be winners.
GREENVILLE, S.C. — The No. 1 South Carolina Gamecocks have a system for cutting down nets.
They’ve had plenty of practice: Since coach Dawn Staley arrived on campus in 2008, they’ve racked up SEC conference titles and Final Four appearances and a pair of national championships. So when they sealed a third consecutive trip to the Final Four on Monday with an 86–75 win over No. 2 Maryland, extending an unbeaten season, they knew just what to do.
