Multiple Former Gamecocks Set To Tip-off The WNBA Season

A plethora of former South Carolina Women's Basketball stars are set to take the floor over the next two days as the WNBA season begins.

South Carolina's women's basketball program has emerged as a WNBA pipeline over the past several years and saw most of "The Freshies" get selected in the 2023 WNBA Draft, with Aliyah Boston being drafted No. 1 overall by the Indiana Fever. Eight former Gamecocks are on opening day WNBA rosters, and they are set to begin their season over the next two days.

Friday

Connecticut Sun @ Indiana Fever | 7 PM EDT

Tyasha Harris (Sun): The former Carolina point guard is beginning her fourth season in the league and her first in Connecticut.

Aliyah Boston (Fever): The former national player of the year and national champion will make her WNBA debut for a young Indiana squad on Friday night.

Victaria Saxton (Fever): The player her teammates considered the "team mom" for the Gamecocks in the past several seasons will now look to bring championship mettle and leadership alongside her college teammate.

Chicago Sky @ Minnesota Lynx | 8 PM EDT

Tiffany Mitchell (Lynx): Tiffany is currently the longest-tenured Gamecock alum in the WNBA, as she's set to begin her 7th season in the league, but will be suiting up for a team not named the Indiana Fever for the first time in her career.

Phoenix Mercury @ Los Angeles Sparks | 11 PM EDT on ESPN

Zia Cooke (Sparks): Zia was the Gamecocks' premiere volume shooter throughout the majority of her time in Columbia and will now look to bring her flashy offensive arsenal to the City of Angels.

Saturday

Atlanta Dream @ Dallas Wings | 1:00 PM EDT on ABC

Laeticia Amihere (Dream): The Gamecocks' defensive swiss-army knife from their recent four-year run will now look to showcase her positional versatility at the professional ranks.

Allisha Gray (Dream): Gray had been a consistent offensive threat for the Dallas Wings since 2017 but was part of a blockbuster trade with the Dream this past offseason, adding some spice to this season opener.

Las Vegas Aces @ Seattle Storm | 3:00 PM EDT on ABC

A'ja Wilson (Aces): Wilson has been one of the best players in the WNBA since she arrived in 2018 and will begin her title defense with the Aces against a rebuilding Storm team.
