Dawn Staley emotional after SC Gamecocks complete PERFECT SEASON 🏆 | ESPN College Basketball 

they earned that ring... helluva squad to be so young

She said “ Give Glory To God “ 🙏🏾🔥🤞🏾

As a 60 yr old man....im a HUGE Dawn Staley fan. She was a beast in college and during her pro career. I am not ashamed to say i got teary and actually had to walk away from the TV because i would've started crying. Came here to watch it now that im more composed. So proud of her and her team. This can never be taken away from them.

It’s called a praise break. Thank You JESUS!

Man I was crying my eyes out! Congrats, Coach and to SC!

She earned it and that proves she s doing this from the ❤️

She started the interview with God and ended it with God. Love it!!

dawn staley coached the game of her life

Dawn is certainly not a cryer so for her to get emotional you can tell this meant something special to her

The humility! What a fabulous human being and a wonderful example to her players and all of us! Super congratulations!

Nobody can take away that ring from them..they've definitely been the best team in the country in the last 3 years

Been rocking w/ Dawn Staley since she won gold on The Olympic Dream Team - Few things make my heart happier than seeing her win these as a coach now #ClassAct

South Carolina was the best team in the country all year long! Wire to wire!! 38-0!!! 74-1 the last two years. Coach Staley has built a powerhouse program that's on top of the mountain now!! Congratulations Gamecocks Nation!!!

The scary part is this team is still load with experience now for next year.

They went the entire season undefeated, you can't get better than that.

BIG Dawn!

Congrats Coach Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks for completing an undefeated season 38-0 and winning the NCAA tournament championship!! S.C. is 74-1 the last two seasons!! This program is on top of the mountain!!

"Uncommon Favor " says it all.

This championship means a whole lot. It's very difficult to go undefeated the entire season and win a National Championship. They handled it with grace and class. Coach Staley's teams reflect her class and ezcelkence.

That's raw emotions.. congratulations ladies🎉🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations 🎉🍾 South Carolina on yall undefeated season let go!!! 🏆

All five of the starters from South Carolina's team that was 36-1 last year left and Coach Staley was able to replace them this year, remake the roster, and wind up 38-0. An undefeated season and winning the national championship has cemented Coach Staley as a Hall of Fame coach! This is her third national championship victory!!!! Congratulations!

I cried with you Coach Staley!!! Well Deserved to you and the entire team!

Dang she got me crying too❤❤❤

This is exactly why I've always loved the women's game. Never understood the hate women's sports get. Let the ladies shine!!!!

*Congrats to SC!!* I remember a my dad had a poster of her on our wall when she played for The Sting when I was a kid. She too lead her team to 3 final fours in college, but never who a championship. It’s awesome to see her win another as a coach!!

The difference of the game. South Carolina got better freshman players. Tessa Johnson. Dam, she was cooking out there. I still feel the heat check. 🥵

I’m so proud of these girls! Great team effort!! Dawn is a world class coach.

Way to go!🎉🎉

The final playoff was truly exceptional, showcasing an impressive demonstration of talent and coaching.

Congratulations! 🏆

Caitlin Clark aint caught no ones conscious except the yt media. All 3 major networks and ESPN have put her name on such heavy rotation that even if you don't watch womens college basketball you still know her. Dollars to donuts tomorrow the networks will talk more about her losing than the incredible run SC had and the amazing job coach Staley has done with this program over the past few seasons.

A Great Team will always beat a great player. Congratulations 🎊 SC

It gives you the chills how can you not route for either team, but coach Dawn a whole legend since a teenager and she's worked hard to get to where she's at now... I'd rather watch the ladies then the dudes hoop just being honest. Great game great season ladies and congratulations in order 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Great team. Calling a repeat. Great season overall for Womens basketball.

Oh the emotion 🥹🥹🥹

So happy for these ladies! I admire Coach Staley.

Philly, proud of you Dawn!

Smoking on that Caitlin pack tonight ladies and gentlemen 😂

Congratulations to South Carolina and coach Staley 👏 job well done 👏

❤love her and USC gamecocks

We serve an unbelievable God. ❤️

Wow amazing performance by the south Carolina Women team this afternoon was a tough and physical and mental game tonight but by the end of the clock they came out in top.Hopefully they will win the championship this year. Great contributions tonight and efforts from Ashlyn,Kamilla ,Te-hina, Raven Johnson and Tessa Johnson tonight.But for me the MVP player goes to Tessa Johnson her 19 points lead South Carolina to the victory and prevented them from being eliminated. But on the defense end this afternoon was a big and great game coming from Kamila her 15 points and 17 rebounds This is a great night for Gamecocks fans and Dawn Stanley as well.

Congratulations! That was a perfect TEAM-effort. ‘Twas basically a brand new team!! The coach and the girls Believed, then they knew!!

Gotta give it to coach she did a magnificent job. The game plan was flawless...That High Low...it's a beautiful thing. And the defense...oh the defense. Great Job Coach.

L.S.U. fan here! Great Job Coach Staley! It was a Beautiful Ending to an Amazing Awesome Season! Congratulations on Winning the Championship!!! No One Can Take It Away, No One Can't Deny it! We All Lived to see the South Carolina Gamecocks Greatness this Year! Kudos Coach Staley, Stay Amazing!!! Those Tears were Special Tears of Triumph and Victory you Earned those Tears Coach ❤!!!
