I actually think all of these early season games are super important for South Carolina because they've got to define and decide who they are as a team, what they're about, what they're going to be.

There's a lot of players in new roles and positions.

they really had a lot of turnover for a number of reasons.

If you think about it from graduation, transfers, and unfortunate injuries, they got a lot of new things happening.

So, like, just to break that down for you, they lost to Hina Paopao to graduation, Bree Hall, you know, obviously, Malaysia, Full Wiley, transfers, injuries to Ashlyn Watkins, Chloe Kitts, huge deal right before the season.

So, you've only got one returning starter from that championship team last year.

That's Raven Johnson.

Raven.

And you're looking at Raven and being like, well, you got to look like that.

And actually, Raven really did great in this game.

Raven is setting the tone as you expect her to.

Raven Johnson, 14 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks.

That's what you want to see from your fifth year.

I'll take it.

Right?

Yeah.

Tessa Johnson, the other Johnson, 14 points.

So your backcourt is giving you some motion there.

We knew Joyce Edwards was going to have to take a step forward from last year, the freshman, right?
