Women’s Elite Eight Highlights, Dawn Staley’s Transfers + Should Billy Donovan Leave The NBA For UNC?
Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss last night’s women’s Elite Eight performances, the impact of Dawn Staley’s transfers on South Carolina’s success, whether USC can challenge UConn in the Final Four and the high-stakes decisions facing UNC as it searches for a new men’s basketball head coach, including whether a high-profile name like Billy Donovan would leave the NBA for the storied college program.
The Texas Longhorns dominated in Fort Worth, rolling past Michigan 77-41 to secure their spot in the Final Four for the second straight season. In Sacramento, the South Carolina Gamecocks advanced with a 78-52 win over TCU. South Carolina’s experience and depth showed as they pulled away comfortably in the second half, punching their ticket to the Final Four and setting up a potential marquee matchup with UConn. These wins completed an all‑No. 1‑seed Final Four featuring UConn, UCLA, Texas and South Carolina—only the second time in NCAA women’s history that all four top seeds have made the national semifinals, and for the second consecutive year with the same quartet advancing. How important were Dawn Staley's transfers? Can USC take down UConn?
Following the departure of Hubert Davis, UNC launched a high-profile search for its next men’s basketball head coach, aiming to continue the program’s tradition of excellence. The search has focused on candidates with proven NCAA Tournament experience, strong recruiting ties and the ability to maintain the Tar Heels’ winning culture. If you're Billy Donovan, do you leave the NBA for the UNC job?
