Coach Staley and her Gamecocks made history by bringing a top-ranked South Carolina squad to Coppin State’s home court. This wasn’t about the scoreboard—Staley kept her word to give HBCU programs real access, not just charity. The packed gym showed how much these moments matter for exposure and growth. Staley’s respect for HBCU legends like Coach Stringer was clear: this was about opportunity, not optics. Fans, what did you think of the energy in Baltimore? #Sports #Gamecocks #HBCU
