Dawn Staley has opened up on her tearful display after winning the NCAA Championship with South Carolina, admitting 'emotions took over' following their victory over Iowa.
The Gamecocks were crowned national champions again on Sunday night, when they got over the line with an 87-75 win against Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the Championship game at March Madness.
Staley, who has been in charge of South Carolina's women basketball program since 2008, has now guided the team to three NCAA titles in her 17-year reign, and two in the last three years.
