Dawn Staley proud of Chloe Kitts’ registering ninth triple-double in Gamecocks history

Chloe Kitts was helped by Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley in the fourth quarter when she was trying to find her 10th assist to complete her triple-double. Staley took the timeout, set up the play for Kitts to feed Joyce Edwards inside, and the execution was nailed.

Talking about the ninth triple-double in Gamecocks history coming from Kitts, Staley said:

“It was the hard way. It was really the hard way. It was playmaking; it was determination; it was will. It was Chloe Kitts. Chloe Kitts has this in her, and she couldn’t be playing her best basketball at the right time.”

After Edwards had made the crucial layup, the Gamecocks bench exploded in excitement as everyone started celebrating Kitts en route a blowout win.

As far as the game was concerned, Ole Miss couldn’t stop the two-way force in the paint, where, thanks to Sana Feagin and Kitts, South Carolina scored 46 points.

The Gamecocks won the battle of turnovers as well, registering 22 against 15 from Ole Miss. Sira Thienou led the Rebels with 15 points but struggled immensely in the final two quarters.

The Gamecocks next take on the No. 15 Kentucky on Sunday.
