Fifth year guard Te-Hina Paopao had 14 points in South Carolina's win vs Florida on Thursday. Why Dawn Staley calls her 'an elevator'.

The Gamecocks’ defense also played a critical role, holding Florida to just 30.6% shooting in the first half and forcing the Gators into difficult possessions. Liv McGill led Florida with 15 points, but the Gators had no answer for South Carolina’s depth and pace.

Dawn Staley had an interesting comment on Tuesday that may have suggested her disliking for South Carolina's most recent AP ranking.
