Ty Harris used to defer ‘win-or-lose shots.’ Now she sends USC to Sweet 16 with them

With 29 seconds left to play in Sunday’s second-round NCAA tournament game between South Carolina and Florida State, the Gamecocks were clinging to a 65-64 lead with the ball.

A basket could ensure FSU could at worse tie the game on the next possession. Three points would make it a two-possession game. Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley called timeout.

In the huddle at Halton Arena, Staley called a play for junior point guard Tyasha Harris.

“We set a play up for Ty to have the ball and make a decision whether she wants to shoot it or dump it to someone,” Staley explained.
