Cardoso is showing out. Feed the beast.
UCONN fans were talking about how LSU would handle us today which never made much sense given this game was a sold out home game.
I can understand UCONN fans giving them the nod if we were on the road at LSU. But never understood all the "LSU will whip them" talk with a game in Columbia.

Sour grapes. Like coach, like fans. LSU's womanhood was completely taken today.
Starting to wonder if this team is as good or better than the 2020 team.
UCONN fans still can’t believe someone else is the top dog. Cardoso looked really good today. Beal was fantastic. Boston was again superb. Great win!

When this team plays their best basketball, they can't be beat.
That was a great win today. They controlled LSU.
Very impressive win. Just incredible how good this program is now.

Every post i read from a uconn fan on any board was wanting us to throttle LSU as a paper tiger. Not sure what others are talking about. Maybe some uconn fan somewhere posted something….but they know we are a number one seed and they are competing with lsu for a #1 so they are in our corner
Give credit where it’s due. Dawn Staley turned the Lady Gamecocks team into an unstoppable Death Star of women’s basketball. They would probably beat the pro-teams. 😂
Teams have run the table in WBB. They don’t necessarily have to lose. Refuse to lose.
Preseason, I posted (perhaps on a different board) my total support/excitement for Coach Staley, this team and the future of Carolina WBB. I sincerely believe that we are TOO close to the current situation to fully appreciate the greatness, as a team ... no, as a program, we are seeing. Read Coach Staley's Wiki resume. Something Special here!!!
It was on several UCONN boards on Facebook. I won't copy and paste them but a number of predictions of a big loss to LSU.
Totally agree. It's hard to believe but lots of people are taking our current situation for granted.
That's why every win should not be taken for granted.
I hope you won't fixate on that too much before we finish the deal on this season.
What a complete team victory, it really is an incredibly deep line up and Dawn's toughest job might be deciding who to play, any combination didn't skip a beat yesterday! Hard to believe but Cardoso might be our ace in the hole, not saying this in a disparaging way but she reminded me of the indian in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest yesterday, Chief would be a great nickname!
Despite the team shooting so poorly from the free throw line and the refs letting LSU get away with moving screens the entire time, it was a pretty solid thumping.
This LSU team reminds me of our teams before Aja Wilson arrived. The talent level has been elevated from where LSU was a couple years ago, but I dont know if any of the LSU players would start for South Carolina.

She's done a lot in two years, though. And she has stature in the profession and she has reach. She'll get more players. The biggest obstacle for her would be age. She'll be 61 in May.
LSU got her at about the same stage of life Spurrier was at when he came here. It was a good run but relatively short-lived. Not too many hold on like Boeheim and how has he done lately?
LSU does have a higher ranked recruiting class for '23, but with Boston, Beal, Saxton & Cook graduating '24 might be another big time class for Staley. Especially if the team wins the title again this year.
Not fixated. Just remember that team was awesome and wished they could have finished the season.
They probably would have won it in '20, but a different bounce of the ball at the end of the Stanford game in the final four in '21 we are probably looking at 3 straight titles and working on a 4th this season.
Only wish Dawn wouldn't have mentioned the Eagles divine right to win the super bowl. Just seemed silly to say. Super Bowl winners are not written, divine or destiny manifest.
Yep, I think she said it all without saying a thing, but sometimes we just have to spout!
Well, it's just futile - it's unknowable and unfixable. Just speaking generally, I think this is the best frontcourt we've ever had. We have had backcourts with greater firepower.
That woman out there is going to be trouble - for as long as she lasts. They hired a coach of near Summitt-like capabilities.
Well she is in her 60s so who knows how long she will stick it out. I know shes originally from Louisiana and was an assistant coach @ LA Tech so I guess her being there is kind of like being home.
I do think its good for the conference and good for our program to have some stiff competition to keep us focused. With Vic Schafer coming back to the conference with Texas and Tennessee showing some signs of life again, winning the SEC might not be a forgone conclusion every year.
Since the 2013-14 Season
Six regular season SEC titles (2014. 2015, 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022)
Six SEC Tournament titles (2015. 2016, 2017, 2018, 2020. 2021)
141-13 conference reckord
2019 was the only year South Carolina did not win either the SEC regular season or SEC Tournament
Eight Sweet Sixteen appearances
Five Elite Eight appearances
Four Final Four appearances
Three NCAA championship games
Two NCAA championships

"The energy in the building -- it really helps," said South Carolina coach Dawn Staley, whose team has led the nation in attendance the past eight seasons. "Our fans are students of the game. They understand how we created our success, and it's on the backbone of playing defense.
If you build it, they will come

We’re going to need another talented big after this year to replace Boston. Perhaps another transfer-in might be out there. As Mulkey said in her presser, she remembers her national championship days with 6’5” and 6’7” players on the court at the same time. I’m sure she meant the Britany Griner days.
I think Cardoso has another year left and Chloe Kitts may turn into a great player. We are not devoid of talent and '24 should be a big recruiting class.
Next year we will be top ten but not as dominant. The following year we will be talented but green. We've already had one championship robbed from us in all likelihood. We need to win this one; I'd say it's imperative. After 2020, I'll always feel we are one championship behind.
UConn fans believe they'll be favored to win a NC next year since we lose so much and they return a talent laden senior class. Our current seniors have a covid year and who knows with NIL$$$$$$ it's possible Boston might return. Dawn has hinted at that.
Indeed, today’s college WBB stand to make a lot more coin in college than in the pros. Even Boston can make more if a deep-pocket person puts up a bundle to keep her. I doubt it would happen though.
