The undefeated South Carolina Gamecocks that won a championship last year earned the nickname “Dawn’s Day Care.” They put together an overwhelming display of dominance. They were also a major test for their coach, a bundle of rambunctious energy, constant talking and youthful slips. The group is now a year older. But that spirit has not changed a bit. Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley emphasized that at the start of the season, and she has kept doing so all year, right on through to the NCAA tournament.
“It's just a day care,” Staley said on Sunday. “It's not like a board meeting where there's one person talking at a time. It is chaos.”
