The National Championship game will be played in South Carolina. There is a time limit.
Brea does not listen to music before games. She does not need the pump-up, preferring to stay as even-keel as possible. She has a quick sense of humor. Destanni Henderson is the one who puts things in order.
South Carolina has a women's basketball team. The consensus national player of the year will not be the only one who will lead the team if they win the second NCAA championship. The backcourt of South Carolina will be crucial in the national championship game. The program is on the cable network, ESPN.
The guards arrived in Columbia with high expectations. Henderson was the top ranked prospect in the country. In South Carolina's recruiting class, junior Cooke and sophomore Beal were the highest ranked.
South Carolina coach Dawn Staley said that they have three different personalities that fit. You don't have to say much. They know exactly what they mean when they look at each other.
Being able to balance and have fun and laugh and joke is the biggest thing of the guards relationship. Getting to know someone like heart-to-heart is a game-changer. It is like a sister relationship when you are on the court.
Even though the three don't hang out all the time off the court, that's true.
The chemistry that they have been able to develop on the court has developed nicely, according to Staley, who is trying to add a second NCAA title to a 2017 championship.
In the 1990s, when she was a point guard at Virginia, she played in a three-guard backcourt with Rhode Island's current coach and another woman who went to three Final Fours. A lot of criticism and a special relationship can be found with the point guards of the coach.
I have always looked at the game differently than a shooting guard or a post player. It doesn't matter if it is basketball or life. We are trained to see it all because I am a point guard. We are trained to see the big picture.
Brea came up with the big swat and went down the court for a layup on the fast break.
When it came to her playing time, Henderson had to do that freshman year. In her first two seasons, Henderson started nine of 64 games. Henderson has started every game she has played in the past two years. Harris helped lead South Carolina to the NCAA title as a freshman point guard, while Henderson is trying to do that as a senior.
She leads South Carolina with 52 3-pointers, and is also leading the team in points and assists. She has excelled in her on-court connection with her teammates.
The national championship game of the women's NCAA tournament is set. Play a tournament.
I have been able to know what they are good at, and just be that point guard that puts them in the position to be their best selves. Just to know who they are.
At 5-foot-7, Henderson is very quick with and without the ball.
She told us very early on in the process that she was coming and stayed committed to us throughout her freshman year.
She is the ultimate teammate. She gives us what we need at any time.
The South Carolina player made a nice steal and then made a layup.
On Friday, the three players combined for 33 points and shot 42% from the field in South Carolina&s 72-59 win over Louisville. Heading into the Final Four, the trio had shot 29% from the field. The Louisville star was forced into 4-for-11 shooting by the smothering defense of Beal.
She makes everyone's lives difficult. Boston said that they love that.
That can happen when opponents are so frustrated by her coverage that they bark at her. The responses might get a little fiery.
She doesn't try to be funny. It is kind of funny if you get her out of who she is and make her give you that back.
South Carolina's Destanni Henderson knocks down another corner 3-pointer.
Look for the one who is trying to be funny to be Cooke.
Zia is a comedian, Boston said. We can depend on her to knock down a shot to be deliberate and attack the basket.
In the meeting with Connecticut in the Bahamas in November, the starting guard trio of South Carolina combined for 38 points, nine rebound, eight assists and eight steals.
The four of them combined for 43 points, seven rebound, 13 assists and two steals. The guards were mostly playing to a draw, allowing Boston to make the difference.
The guard plays around Boston.
Boston said that she brings the energy. She is in charge of the game.
They are a deadly combination on the court. They work well together, and they understand where each other needs to be and what needs to happen.
