“I put a lot of pressure on Chloe, I do, a lot of pressure, because I feel she’s the player that can make really great basketball decisions and plays. And when she doesn’t do that for us, we’re a different basketball team.”

Dawn Staley’s No. 6 Gamecocks (24-3, 12-1 Southeastern Conference) will look to close out the regular season with a flourish before heading into March Madness. South Carolina travels to play Vanderbilt on Sunday before making the trip to face Ole Miss on Thursday night. The Gamecocks play their final game of the regular season against Kentucky on March 2.
The Gamecocks are the reigning national champions, having gone unbeaten last season. Staley will aim to repeat that success, but South Carolina has a long way to go.
