It was simple; the best team won, and it stood as a reminder that teams don’t go undefeated by luck. Building what Dawn Staley has built takes years of hard work and experience. Interestingly, this is her 3rd national title, and she’s only behind Geno Auriemma, Pat Summitt, and Kim Mulkey in the All-Time women’s NCAA title race. Massive names lined up to quickly acknowledge her team’s efforts after SC defeated Caitlin Clark and Co.

Coach Prime went out of the box with his comments and called Dawn Staley a “SHERO”!

Samuel L. Jackson humorously tried to shift the attention towards the super-dedicated team as well.

Dwyane Wade’s partner was also part of the praise bandwagon with her ‘BIG’ tribute. “Freshmen stepped up BIG, bench was BIG, and the leaders lead BIG!!”, she excitedly wrote.

Stephen Curry and Co.’s brand’s social media handle also congratulated Milaysia Fulwiley, a Curry Athlete and SC Freshman, with a heartwarming bunch of snippets of the Champion. In the caption they wrote, “HOMETOWN HERO. HOMEGROWN CHAMPION”.

After the game, Staley reflected on the season, saying, “We’ve exceeded expectations, internal and externally”. She termed this year’s win a ‘repayment’ for the times they failed to go all the way. Well, that wasn’t the end of all the appreciation. Many from the fanbase also lined up to appreciate Staley and Co. Let’s dive deeper.
