Staley: Latson a Game-Day Decision as South Carolina Tests Newfound Depth

Overview

• Ta'Niya Latson, who sprained her ankle on Dec. 28, is being evaluated day to day, with Staley saying they will see how she feels before Sunday’s home game against Georgia.
• Maddy McDaniel and Agot Makeer have filled larger roles in Latson’s absence, combining for 39 points and 26 assists over the last three games.
• South Carolina routed Arkansas 93-58 on Jan. 8, with Makeer posting 10 points and 10 rebounds and McDaniel delivering a team-high six assists.
• The No. 3 Gamecocks are 16-1 overall and 3-0 in SEC play as bench production trends upward after a lighter non-conference contribution.
• Six-foot-7 French newcomer Alicia Tournebize arrived Jan. 1, is cleared and practicing, and Staley has signaled a cautious timeline without committing to a debut against Georgia.
