PHILADELPHIA -- A'ja Wilson wouldn't let Dawn Staley's homecoming be spoiled.
Wilson had 28 points, 12 rebounds and eight blocks to help No. 4 South Carolina rout Temple 87-60 on Thursday night.
"Our team said in the pregame huddle, let's do it for coach," Wilson said. "It's her homecoming. We wanted to put it on."
Staley grew up in Philadelphia, a mile from Temple where she coached from 2000-08. On Wednesday, the city celebrated her, renaming a few blocks Dawn Staley Lane as a day in her honor was celebrated at the Hank Gathers Recreation Center.
