As usual, South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley kept it a buck with reporters Sunday.
When asked Geno Auriemma’s 11-0 record in national title games as the coach of UConn, Staley made sure folks didn’t forget about her team.
“We’re 1-0, so we’re 100 percent too,” Staley said.

Dawn Staley and the Gamecocks will look to make it 2-0 against the Huskies come Sunday night. The championship game of the women’s Final Four tips-off in Minneapolis at 8 PM ET on ESPN.
Geno Auriemma‘s UConn team has scrapped its way to the national championship, led by Paige Bueckers. But they haven’t faced a test like Aliyah Boston yet.
