Dawn Staley Epically Leaned Into LSU Joke With Three-Letter Message on Sweatshirt

South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley went viral after the team’s 76–70 win over LSU on Thursday because of how she responded to the opposing crowd’s “boos” against her.

A reporter was asking her about how unfriendly the LSU crowd was to her, but Staley didn’t see it that way.

“Actually they were [friendly], they were calling me boo,” Staley jokingly said.

To play into this now iconic quote more, Staley showed up to the team’s game vs. Vanderbilt on Sunday wearing a sweatshirt that said “Boo.” It was definitely a fun way for her to lean into the joke further than just her response on Thursday.

Thursday night’s matchup was full of intense emotions as the No. 1 Gamecocks came back to beat the No. 8 Tigers. South Carolina remained undefeated after the win, and it was clear that the LSU crowd was hoping to hand the Gamecocks their first loss of the season.

South Carolina won 91–74 on Sunday over Vanderbilt to remain undefeated.
