South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley must have put the Gamecocks through a tough practice before Friday’s Final Four matchup against UConn.
Staley posted a video on social media that had fans rolling. The video showed the entire team knocked out, except for freshman forward Adhel Tac, who was “the nosey one.”
South Carolina’s Dawn Staley Posts Hilarious Nap Time Reel
Fans loved Staley’s video, which showed almost the whole team knocked out in the locker room—all except Tac. The freshman, who has averaged just four minutes of playtime in 22 appearances this year, hasn’t had to expel the juice the rest of the team has, and she’s still on the younger end.

“💤 💤 💤 for most of the @gamecockwbb Daycare…..and then there the nosey ones! 🤣🤣🤣,” Staley wrote.
Staley panned through the whole locker room, showing the entire team sleeping, before shifting the camera to Tac and saying, “the nosey ones don’t go to sleep,” drawing a laugh out of the freshman.
The Gamecocks have every right to take a nap ahead of a big matchup with No. 1 Texas. After coasting through the first weekend of the tournament in Columbia, South Carolina, winning games against No. 16 Tennessee Tech and No. 9 Indiana by double-digits, they had back-to-back squeakers against No. 4 Maryland and No. 2 Duke.
Against the Terrapins, South Carolina trailed by as much as seven and led by only two heading into the final quarter before holding on to win 71-67. Against the Blue Devils, South Carolina squandered an early 11-point lead, trailing by four heading into the final quarter. They rallied, starting the fourth quarter on an 8-0 run and holding Duke to only eight fourth-quarter points, winning 54-50.
