PHOENIX — Dawn Staley has fond memories of her first trip as a coach to the NCAA championship game. It ended with South Carolina’s first national title nine years ago. She hopes that UCLA’s first time playing for an NCAA title won’t end the same way for the Bruins, who face the Gamecocks on Sunday for the championship.
“It’s special. I mean, it’s special. You’re playing on the last day of college women’s basketball,” Staley said.
