Dawn Staley built a dynasty with the South Carolina 🐔
Dawn Staley has repeatedly proven that she is one of the best coaches in the history of university basketball. With a perfect 3-0 record in national championship matches, Staley managed to keep his gamecocks focused on the biggest scene. After leading the Gamecocks in a national title in 2022 and a perfect season 38-0 in 2024, the Staley team continues to dominate. His team mixes defense, athletics and skills to create a championship caliber program year after year. The list of South Carolina is stacked by stars like Joyce Edwards, Milaysia Fulwiley, Chloe Kitts, Te-Hina Paopao and Sania Feagin.
- Joyce Edwards: 15.2 ppg, 9.8 RPG
- Milaysia Fulwiley: 13.4 ppg, 4.1 APG, 38.7% out of three
- Chloe Kitts: 11.8 ppg, 7.2 RPG, 1.4 BPG
- Te-Hina Paopao: 8.3 ppg, 3.1 APG
- Sania Feagin: 12.6 ppg, 5.4 RPG
These players are hungry to become the first national champion of women’s female basketball in 11 years and to win Staley its third national title in four years.
Or is it time for Paige Bueckers? ✨
Paige Bueckers is back and hungry for its first national title with Uconn. After failing in the Final Four 2024 against Iowa, Bueckers is in good health and ready to drive Huskies to glory. This tournament was unstoppable, and her statistics speak for themselves:
- 26.4 ppg (points per game) 💥
- 3.6 RPG (rebounds per game) 🏀
- 3.4 APG (aid per game) 🎯
- 4.4 STL + BLK (flights and blocks per game) 🛡️

The heritage of Geno Auriemma 🏅
Uconn’s legendary coach Geno Auriemma is a force in women’s basketball. With 11 national titles, he is one of the most decorated coaches in history. Its ability to constitute championship teams year after year maintains Uconn at the top. With stars like Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd, Huskies are still a threat. Will Auriemma add another title to his legendary career, or will South Carolina cement her own dynasty with another crown?
