The Basketball Team of South Carolina GameCocks produced an impressive first version of their NCAA-NAs season in 2025 on 7 March by beating the Vanderbilt Commodores 84-63 in the quarterfinals of the sec tournament.
The GameCocks were led by Junior attacker Chloe Kitts, who scored a game-high 25 points on a very efficient 12 of 14 shooting from the field to go with 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block played in 29 minutes.

South Carolina trusts a balanced attack that makes it difficult to predict who will lead them in scoring every match. However, they always seem to be at their best when Kitts performs well. GameCocks -head coach Dawn Staley spoke with this during her postgame press conference on March 7.
“This is really who Chloe is,” said Staley, according to an X -post by Chaz R. Frazier from ABC Columbia.
“[She’s] Start playing very consistent basketball. She wants the ball in her hands, she wants to become a playmaker, she wants to be the one who can score it or save a teammate. I thought her teammates did a very good job to find her, I thought she was doing very well to just make a play, “Staley added.
“We called her number and she delivered for us. I would imagine that this is a kind of how she had her whole season in mind, but it didn’t go. I mean, it was a bit up and down, inconsistent. But Chloe is mental, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, to be able to be able to do this competitive, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical, physical.” ”
Staley concluded with: “Nobody will just kill it every night. But if you don’t have the mental power to keep up with the ups and downs, you will not play consistent at any point of the season.”
“This is really who Chole is … We have mentioned her number and she has delivered for us.”
