Dawn Staley's biggest Wish: "Sit William on the Bench for the entire 4th quarter".
And Vic Shafer granted her Wish. 17ing Unbelievable!!!
We had cut their lead to 4 points, then at the end of the 3rd quarter we sit William & McCowan, and let South Carolina stretch the lead out to 8 points....and that was basically the end of the game.
For those folks saying William wasn't having a good game...she didn't have a good game against UConn until the ending (4th quarter & Overtime). Sitting McCowan for most of the 4th quarter & William for all the 4th quarter, gift wrapped the NCAA Championship for South Carolina.
True South Carolina very much probably would've won it without our help...but sitting our best players clinched it for South Carolina. Very frustrating, very hard to get ANY Mississippi State team even in position to play for a Championship...then to just watch our coach sit down our best players and surrender the game...Terrible.
