South Carolina coach Dawn Staley believes her team deserves the No. 1 overall seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament after a dominant run through the SEC Tournament. The Gamecocks, who won the national championship last season, were ranked fifth entering the tournament and are now poised for a No. 1 seed after impressive wins against top teams. Staley argued that their challenging schedule and victories against top-ranked teams, including No. 1 Texas, should elevate them to the top seed. Despite some surprise and disappointment over being labeled as a No. 2 seed initially, Staley is determined to advocate for her team’s deserving position and emphasize the strength of their resume. South Carolina’s success this season, including wins against several Top 25 teams, supports Staley’s argument for the Gamecocks’ deserved top ranking in the NCAA Tournament.
