ATTN: Gamecocks Set for White House Visit

COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina women’s basketball will be honored at the White House on Tue., Sept. 10, to celebrate the program’s 2024 NCAA National Championship.

President Joe Biden will also welcome the 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Champion UConn Huskies on the same day.

South Carolina became just the fifth program in NCAA history to complete an undefeated National Championship season – a feat made more impressive by the fact that head coach Dawn Staley had to replace all five starters and three other letterwinners from her 2023 NCAA Final Four team. The Gamecocks led the nation in scoring defense, scoring margin and blocked shots per game, setting program records for scoring average, scoring margin, field goals made, 3-point field goals made, defensive rebounds and assists. The 2024 title was the Gamecocks’ third in program history (2017, 2022).
