A’ja Wilson makes sure her Gamecock teammates know: ‘You just gotta beat Clemson’

South Carolina-Clemson rivalry has been more than a little one-sided on the women’s basketball court — the Gamecocks have won seven straight, eight of 10 and five by more than 20 points. |
Quote: |
But for star Gamecock forward A’ja Wilson, a Hopkins, South Carolina, native, beating Clemson is never something to take for granted and even comparable in her mind to games against the very best teams in the country.
“I always want to beat Clemson at anything. It’s always going to be a rivalry to me. I’m a homegrown girl and that’s everything. You just gotta beat Clemson,” Wilson said. |
Quote: |
“The fans will definitely let you know that winning this game and having South Carolina pride is a priority for us,” Staley said. “I think we have the better team going into Clemson, but the better team doesn’t always win if we take them lightly. ... A’ja makes it make sense to them. I think our players know what the rivalry means.” |
Quote: |
Clemson has started the year with a pair of wins over Kennesaw State and South Carolina State. In those matchups, the Tigers averaged just 48.5 points but surrendered only 38 per game, putting them third in the country in scoring defense. |
Quote: |
Senior guard Bianca Cuevas-Moore will remain sidelined against Clemson with a sprained knee, Staley said. Staley also said the team’s coaching staff is not trying to rush her back from injury. Cuevas-Moore has missed the first two games of the season after playing in USC’s exhibition. |
Quote: |
Clemson's best player: Junior point guard Danielle Edwards, who has accounted for nearly 25 percent of the Tigers’ points this season. She also has 11 steals in two games, tied for fourth in the nation. |

It should be a game where the Gamecock freshmen get ample minutes. Clemson is not only averaging under 50 ppg, but also averaging right at 20 turnovers committed per game....

Gamecocks win 66-36. Both teams put in their reserves for the 4th Qtr., and pretty much uglied up the game. But the one bright spot was USC freshman Lele Grissett scoring 10 pts on 5-8 shooting, and pulling down 8 boards, in 15 minutes.
Lindsey Spann led the Gamecocks with 20 pts, and A'ja Wilson added 19 pts and 11 rebounds....

I'm just noticing Spann on SC now. She was Penn St's best player.
