‘Tis the (pre-)season!
Now that Dawn Staley has led her loaded USA Basketball Women’s National Team (USABWNT) to it’s unprecedented third consecutive FIBA World Cup championship, she can now turn all of her attention to her “day” job as head coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks’ women’s basketball team.
With the season’s first official practice in the books, the 2018-19 season unofficially begins tonight with the Gamecock Tipoff, a home-grown scrimmage between the women’s and men’s basketball teams. This will give the public a first look at the Lady Gamecocks as they enter the first season of the post-A’ja Wilson era.
