Dawn Staley expects more from Gamecocks with top-five opponent ahead
South Carolina v Coppin State | Greg Fiume/GettyImagesThe losses are so rare for South Carolina women's basketball that whenever they happen it gets everyone's attention. This is something that Dawn Staley has often used to her advantage. The Gamecocks win so often and are so talented that often times their talent will mask some bad habits creeping in.
Staley used Thursday's 94-82 overtime loss to Oklahoma as an opportunity to remind her team that they still have to execute and bring full effort every game because they are a big target in the SEC for upstart programs, like Oklahoma, to get a signature win.
