South Carolina’s Aliyah Boston did not end the 2022–23 women’s college basketball season the way she planned to as Iowa knocked off the reigning national champs, 77-73, in the Final Four matchup on Friday at the American Airlines Center.
The Gamecocks star dealt with foul trouble early in Friday’s game that curbed her minutes on the court and ultimately limited her production, as she finished with eight points, 10 rebounds, three assists and three fouls.
With the season now over, Boston must decide whether she will return to Columbia, S.C., for another year or take her talents to the WNBA. But, according to Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley, it is time for Boston to spread her wings and talent in the pros.
