The game was an intense matchup, and Duke challeged the Gamecocks throughout the entire contest. Despite trailing 42-38 at the end of the third quarter, South Carolina's resilience awarded them the win in the end, but not without a few heart palpitations from those watching.
Coach Staley's post-game acknowledgment of the fans resonated deeply. She remarked, "Our FAMs, I know we give them heart attacks, but I'm glad we have moments like this because it's going to prepare us for the Final Four." This sentiment was echoed by many, who appreciate the team's thrilling performances, even if they are nail-biters.
A cardiology office would be a savvy sponsor of Gamecock Women’s Basketball during this post season run.
