SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Even after another dominant offensive performance, South Carolina players feel their best is yet to come.
Ta’Niya Latson scored 28 points and Raven Johnson added 18 to help the top-seeded Gamecocks beat No. 4 seed Oklahoma 94-68 on Saturday and advance to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division I women’s basketball tournament.
“We have a lot of room to grow, we’re growing at the right time,” Johnson said. “When everyone is clicking, the ceiling is high for us.”
Coach Dawn Staley also sees areas that her team can grow despite winning its first three games in this year’s edition of March Madness by an average of 45 points.
“I like for us to be a little bit better at putting the ball in the paint and scoring,” she said. “Used to having a dominant post who can alleviate some of the pressures in the half court.”
