You gotta be careful when you talk about the final four and the championship simply because it is too early. There are other teams that have a say so in this like UCONN and NOTRE DANE and there's some other dark horse teams that haven't been mentioned. The question we have to ask as we follow women's college basketball is ( If Sara Strong went to SOUTH CAROLINA and played that game against UCLA would it had made a difference??)

Anyone noticed that Carolina has started every game ice cold? How about Carolina out scored UCLA in the 3rd & 4th quarters? How about this 3 of 5 starters offense are down but shooting more 3’s. South Carolina lady gamecocks has better players on the bench and 2 6’5 players played total of 7 minutes. If they can’t hit wide open shoots and not score a point for half of 1st qtr what you think is going to happen? The score was 2 to 0 after 3 minutes so they playing defense just not offense. Lastly UCLA was 5th ranked and now #1 ranked team.

I’m so happy she won’t be playing for Mulkey. Aaliyah deserves every dollar she’s asking for.

South Carolina coming back strong believe that

Derrick, I agree with you 💯. Tess, Milaysia, and Chloe should be on that court

Raven needs to sit. She can’t shoot. Tessa needs to start. She can shoot the lights out. Maddy needs to start. She’ll get better on D & she will shoot better with experience. Watkins needs to start. Feagin sits. Kitts is becoming liability with her bad shots & out of control play. Edwards needs to play more. Fuhwilley is good but not as good as she thinks she is & this coming from a Gamecock fan

South Carolina has plenty of size. They just need to play younger players & tougher. UCLA won’t shoot like that all the time

Wow amazing performance by whole UCLA Bruins women basketball team tonight.The rotation that Cori Closeand coach executed today was superb and amazing. There first win versus a number ranked one team and it came against South Carolina Gameocks .This definitely was a physical and clean game tonight But And they got their revenge in Los Angeles remembering Dawn Stanley knocked this team out of the sweet 16 a year ago. And tonight they showed they can defeat and beat the defending NCAA women champions tonight and they did it amazing fashion. . This is a team that work together and definitely win games and play the game of basketball efficiently.And goes individually and collectivity thorough out their big 10 conference games a And they continue to play phenomenal defensive and interrupt their opponents offensive amd defense from the opening minute to the final minutes of the game versus south Carolina.Due to UCLA defense and offense the Gamecocks has lost this game . And that was phenomenal from both ends of the floor from the UCLA Bruins and you have to give them credit for their defensive plays through out whole game getting stops and stealing and out rebounding the South Carolina Gamecoks . And the UCLA starters and the players that was phenomenal tonight .That just show the phenomenal growth and their Resilience. And their ability to dominate constantly has grown feom last season of this team from last season to now. And they all should be proud of Sunday perfomance. Because they won and they made history this Sunday. Player stats and UCLA leaders for this game Lauren Betts with 11 points 4 assists and 11 rebounds A Kiki rice with 11 points 1 rebound and three assists. Eliana with 13 points 3 rebounds and four assists. Jones with 15 points and two rebounds. Timea Gardiner 3 points and 3 rebounds. Angela Dugalic 5 points and 4 rebounds. Gabriella Jaquez 11 points and 3 rebounds. Janiah eight points and seven rebounds. The UCLA bruins has snapped the south Carolina 43 game winning streak.

2 years ago, the Gamecocks had both Aliyah Boston AND Kamilla Cardosa on the same team. They beat UCLA in the Sweet 16. Coach Cori learned from that loss. That's why Coach Cori always gives Coach Dawn mad props... UCLA just out gamecocked the Gamecocks... That's exactly why Coach Dawn said that it doesn't feel good when someone does to you, what you've been doing to others for years 😂

UCLA & USC teams not really fair. Just All-Star teams of former Pac-12 members. Aarnisalo is their big difference maker IMO. They had all the pieces before, but with nobody to effectively run the offense. Kiki looks so much more effective and at ease playing off ball. Having Gardiner & Barker in addition to their already stacked team is an embarrassment of riches. And they haven't even used First Team Pac-12 champion Leger-Walker.

UCLA has never won a championship in the history of women's NCAA BB and they WON'T win one again this year. This is the biggest victory in the history of UCLA's program so they should enjoy it, but it won't win them any titles come March. The win by UCLA on their home court was totally predictable and expected by those in the know...neither the victory nor the victory margin was surprising.

WTF is a "cheat code??" You called Camilla Cordoso South Carolina's "cheat code." How does having a player and utilizing a player having any fugging thing to do with "cheating???" Stupid commentary.

Dallas Wings hates signing average sized players. Everyone on the roster is either 5'6 or 6'5

People tend focus on scoring and offensive stats. Go back and watch just 10 minutes and look at the Bruins' defensive effort. I'd challenge anyone to show me another team with a more suffocating defense in the last couple of years. The help defense was amazing...when a Bruin was beaten off the dribble, more often than not there was help to shut down any penetration. So when the offense isn't clicking...THAT'S the fallback. And realize the Bruin defense was playing a smothering defense against a team with a legendary head coach that has TEN McDonald's All-Americans.

All you saying Dawn will figure it out can't forget that she doesn't the pieces like in the past. No one on SC is a creative playmaker or is a true leader. Trying to run and gun against good teams doesn't work anymore. I see SC losing 3-4 games this year

In Dawn we trust

Neither one of these teams will win it all. UConn going all the way this Year.

My god they lost one game early in the season and all of a sudden it’s the end of the world

This win was needed, but the 2nd loss in two years is not to bad. They’ll most definitely come back for sure!

SC all day! The way they’re challenging themselves will help them make the right adjustments. I mean they have to face the #8 opponent on Thanksgiving in a couple days and two other ranked opponents before conference, I think top ten again. UCLA played Louisville who is so so and obviously SC with a week off leading into the SC game and they don’t face anyone else of significance until they get into conference. Nuff said.

Let’s see if Betts makes it through the whole season healthy. But ucla and Notre dame both. No excuses. They have to make the final four this year.

This ass kicking South Carolina just took from UCLA. It’s probably the best thing that could’ve happen to them…..They got humbled now they can just go back to work and be focused. They have a few new pieces on the team….They’re trying to Gel and find themselves, but they’ll be right there come March….Dawn Staley is a great coach And I would love to see a rematch with UCLA in the final four.

100-2 in 3 seasons...i know ppl like drama, but....relax. 3 final fours and 2 Nattys in 3 seasons. Make it make sense after game 6!

Here's my 10-cents worth. First and foremost, Hannah Hidalgo and Olivia Miles (are the real-deal Holyfield!) But Notre Damn's Coach and her scouting team and assist coaches are the architects of this win over USC! Make no mistake about it-Coach Niele Ivey is a basketball strategist... The defense Notre Dame deployed against Juju and Kiki Iriafen was textbook... They force Juju left (which in effect slowed her down because she’s predominately a right-hand player) then trapped her forcing her to give up her dribble and turning her into a passer. As for defending Kiki Iriafen...Coach Ivey's game plan seem to be to make her speed up her game...play faster than she’s...and for that matter Juju Watkins were accustomed. If anybody's WNBA draft stock went up-it definitely was Oliva Miles's and Hannah Hidalgo (what's more impressive about Hidalgo's is that she's only 5-feet 6-inches!) Everybody like to make comparisons...therefore...here's mine-Hannah Hidalgo's game rebind’s me of Allen Iverson-yes-AI! they both are high energy players and enjoy playing ball-hawking defense. Having said that...let's not get is twisted...Juju is a baller; however, I just wish the media..."sports media pundits" would stop all this comparison nonsense and let Julu just play ball and develop into whatever WCB talent she becomes without all this comparison (aka unnecessary extra pressure) to Caitlyn Clark, and so forth. (From what I saw...Juju can be frustrated as was evident in this game and when USC played UConn last year in the Elite-8 NCAAW tournament. (In fact, I believe that's where Coach Ivey's picked up on how to defense Julu.) Nevertheless...Truth be told; there're WCBs with equal or if not better talent in WCB than Julu...as Hannah Hidalgo and Olivia Miles just demonstrated you can also add in UConn’s Paige Bueckers; Texas’s Madison Booker; LSUs Flau’Jae Johnson...that I can think of off the top of my head. Nevertheless, it about team chemistry...and Notre Dame seem have their team figured out-while in my opinion USC has some work to do! It great getting 4/5-star transfer players on your roster...but as a former coach...it takes time for them to gel! As for Dawn Staley and SCs...a Dawn Staley coached team has never won a title without an elite power forward (A’ja Wilson and Aliyah Boston) or Center (Camilla Cardoso). In my humble opinion SC has too many 4-/5-star recruit therefore, there’s no chemistry because we don’t know which starting line-up she will play. But most important, her talented players aren’t give an opportunity to develop to their full potential because they get very limited game-time minutes...if they get in the game at all. And for you Coach Staley starch-supporters...other than A’ja Wilson and Aliyah Boston.... name another SC alum that has had a meaningful career in the WNBA... . That’s my two-cents worth! Peace out

I’m sitting here laughing! Dawn was studying UCLA and letting the girls try and figure it out! We know the drill! There is never a “me” mentality with our girls! Go Gamecock’s!!

The biggest issue with south Caroline is their slow starts, and this game was a game where they couldn’t dig out

Yall act like tht was the championship. South Carolina can't go undefeated every year.😅😅😅😅😅

UCLA is a much better team this year than last. Lauren Betts has developed her game dramatically, Timea Gardiner adds height and a deadly three-point shot, Janiah Barker also adds height and pure athleticism, Angela Dugalic is sharper, Elina Aarnisalo is already a talented point guard, Kiki Rice shows more of an urgency to win, Gabrielle Jaquez is a great utility player, Londynn Jones can be on fire from three-point land, and the other players bring fresh energy when needed. Also, I think the new assistant coaches have been instrumental. Go Bruins!

It was a good win by the Bruins, but I doubt Staley is worried. I think the “prove it in March” or “prove it when the 3’s aren’t falling” is a fair statement regarding our team. We started last season hot but faltered down the stretch. I think this team is vastly better than last year’s. Huge improvements with Barker, Gardiner and Leger-Walker. And Aarnisalo at pg (sorry Kiki) makes rhe team legit. Then the bench is much better with Jaquez, Jones , Barker and whoever ends up there when CLW returns. I like our chances, but those going with USC have history on their sides. LONG way to go.

I need a bigger sample size from UCLA. Do they play this way and this well all the time, I know they are undefeated, so they’re obviously really good. But they looked like a super team out there. This game, and the ND/USC game seemed like such anomalies. The winners looked crazy good, and the losers looked really bad. Just uncharacteristic all around.

Nice reads by Betts---keep your head up, count jerseys and give up the ball when you're out-numbered. Gardiner is a match-up problem with her size and 3's. Close reminds me of Cheryl Reeve. And nice take on Rice, she looks like the glue. The other team that doesn't seem to have any holes is Oklahoma. On a side note, there are a LOT of games today and tomorrow involving ranked teams that aren't televised. SMH.

Spot on analysis. Dawn sat Fulwiley. Only played 3 minutes. This reminds of the UNC game (early season) last year where Dawn almost sacrificed a game to prove a point. I think this loss will be the same. Dawn wanted her team to feel this and get a taste of it. She's not concerned with never losing so much as to wining a national championship. I'm not taking anything away from UCLA. They dominated. But I think Dawn saw that early and thought, "Ok, i'm using this blowout as a teaching tool."

Coach Dawn will figure it out but will her team accept her guidance? With how new a lot of the players are to UCLA they look like they’ve all been playing together for years. Betts, being the star that she is, knows when to be unselfish and kick it out to her teammates. The question of what happens when the 3 isn’t falling is a great one. Coach close did have some great plays to open up the lanes. So I think that’s covered. This team looks like they could win it all.

PG - Fullwiley SG - Pao Pao SF - Hall/Johnson, flip a coin. PF - Kitts C - Watkins. Its really not that hard. just start them. that's it.

UCLA won’t win, but if SC does not switch starters they won’t either

Jazzy Davidson made a mistake going to USC ucla has a well rounded team they can beat all kinds of ways Coach Corey is a great coach I figure ucla got two years to get a national championship especially when sienna Betts comes UCLA is big athletic skilled smart…I say LSU Notre Dame UConn UCLA final four

Bruin Vince here, so you know in advance that I'm obviously biased in favor of UCLA, but here goes. My biggest concern going into the season was our back court. I was practically crying when Kaitlyn Chen went to UConn. Now, I could care less about that. Our freshman, Aarnisalo has played great every game, is taller than Chen, and unlike Ju Ju Watkins, is a great facilitator. Kiki Rice is finally healthy, and as you saw against South Carolina, looks again like the lottery pick she will eventually become. Londyn Jones runs hot and cold from 3 point land, but the difference is(and this is important), Cori Close has learned to take her out of the game when she's not hitting the 3's. We already have the best group of bigs in the country, and when Ledger-Walker gets back from her injury, it will be lights out for any other team hoping to challenge us in the paint.

I think Dawne Staley will eventually figure it out too though and they will end up in the Final Four while UCLA will come up short again.

dawn is such a good coach, i need to start watching her interviews more

I’m a huge UCONN fan but I was taken aback by how good Betts and UCLA looked while South Carolina looks rusty and at times disorganized. I thought Barker, Jones and Betts were really good. While SC shooting was poor their perimeter D was also very poor. However, I still think ND is better and would easily knock off UCLA. I’m already worried abt UCONN vs ND. Hope we do knock them off on 12-12-2024.

I’ve never seen a team of bigs play the way UCLA players are. Dawn has never had a team of bigs ever. She has had A dominant big but not four bigs on the floor and shooting three’s. I don’t know who can beat UCLA. I don’t think you beat UCLA in the paint. What you need to beat UCLA is play your best three point game. Defend thier UCLA three point game…

Why does dawn let Raven play and make mistakes. Dawn is a hater, Milaysia is on the top of her list

I'm going with Dawn. She will figure this team out and put on the court the best lineup.

Dawn will figure it out

SC will definitely figure it out ! SC in March for sure! Gamecocks4Life

Kitts has been great so far this season, but in this game she looked like child playing agaist grown ups. It was kind of sad and funny at the same time. Hopefully she'll bounce back

You don’t piss me off, I just think you’re a clown. Unsubbed

L$U is made of money pay whatever she wants better us pay than UT or SC or any other Chip competitors she will get it from somebody might as well be L$U very short sighted on KIM part.

ND dismantled them on their home court. So much talent in the women's game now.
