Dawn Staley calls Refs for ESPN after the first quarter in South Carolina -Texas: “Let the players play” – Greenville News

South Carolina’s women’s basketball is in a highly contested road battle against No. 6 Texas on Sunday in the center of Moody.

A match between two of the best basketball teams for women in college and a review of a potential competition after the season – SEC Championship, Final Four or National Championship – however, was influenced by the whistle in the first quarter: 16 combined fouls.

The result of the first quarter caused a rather fiery dawn of Staley during an interview with the Holly Rowe game at the beginning of the second quarter.

“People are here to see the players play. I know I can talk about (Texas coach) Vic (Schaefer) in this, either from our team, or from their team, let the players play,” Staley said. “(TV) viewer audience and people want to see the players make the plays that make the game.”

Of the 16 fouls, which were called in the first quarter of Sunday at SEC Showdown, nine of them were called against South Carolina: two each of the Te-Hina Paopao, Sania Feagin and Maryam Dauda, ​​while Chloe Kitts, Bree Hall And Raven Johnson were appreciated. In the first quarter of Gamecocks and Longhorns, there were 22 combined free throws.

“I will continue to talk to my players that we will not adapt, k? Because that’s how we play,” Staley continued.

During this writing, Gamecocks is currently lagging behind Longhorns 40-36 in the third quarter of the road, led by the seven points of Milaysia Flulwiley at 2-from-5 firing from the pitch, until 3-6 of the free throw line goes.

If Gamecocks can come back Sunday and take a win for the top 10 times, the Staley team will extend their SEC series to 58 consecutive games, which dates back to January 2, 2022 against Mississippi.
