Having a lot of really good players comes with challenges for Gamecocks

Do you feel like this is the deepest team you've had in South Carolina? And what, I guess, if there's a lot of talk about how great this team is, but are there any challenges of having that many times? The deepest? We were pretty deep in 24 because we had a lot more experience. We were probably deeper in talent, untapped talent, inexperienced talent. So, you know, does it pose a problem? I mean, it could. I mean, we try to get in front of it because we know that. I mean, we got five star players on our team that some of them didn't get off the bench in Paris. Some of them, you know, play very little in Paris. And you could, as much as we want to say, you know, trust your process and trust, you know, that you're going to eventually play. And then you have outside people who, you know, want to comment on their process and their growth and, you know, until you're able to experience being in our practice. For even just a small sample size, you'll understand that coming to play at this level is really hard, like it's really hard, and it's not a one-off, like you can have a good game, yet you got to get up and come to practice the next day, you got to get up and come to practice the day after that, and the day after that, and it's a constant thing, like it's always moving, and if you have one slip-up, you know, you got to go back to the other end where there are so many people in your position, if you have one slip-up, you know. You know, Ali had a little slip up that was unintentional, you know, with a low leg injury. She's going to continue to try because she understands that somebody's going to get the minutes that she was supposed to get. And it's that. But it's also teaching her, too, to play through a little bit. And I think it's a good process. I think here in South Carolina, you know, we communicate like real talk. It isn't like it's real talk. And I mean, we prepared them for. Having great college careers that, you know, transition into the pros.
