President Joe Biden is welcoming both the South Carolina women’s basketball team and the UConn men’s basketball team to the White House on Tuesday, Sept. 10, per South Carolina’s release.
The Gamecocks made history last season, becoming just the fifth team ever to go undefeated for an entire season.
South Carolina wasn’t the favorite entering 2023-24 after Dawn Staley had to replace all five starters from the 2022-23 team. However, the Gamecocks were still able to put together an incredible year that included surviving against Tennessee in the SEC Tournament.
The Gamecocks played only one game within single digits in the NCAA Tournament — beating Indiana 79-75 in the Sweet 16.
South Carolina was led by star center Kamilla Cardoso and had several younger players who played a pivotal role throughout the year, including freshmen guards MiLaysia Fulwiley and Tessa Johnson.
While South Carolina had some stars on the offensive end, the Gamecocks really excelled defensively. Staley’s club led the nation in scoring defense, scoring margin and blocked shots per game in 2023-24.
The SEC powers are expected to once again be contenders in 2024-25, despite losing Cardoso.
