"We are headed to one of the biggest games of the century," Kia said. "I really feel like these girls are changing the way people look at women's basketball. It's just amazing to know that my daughter is a part of this trailblazing era .."

"To know that my daughter is a reason that these tickets are selling" she added. "We can pull this off. We're about to be in the building rooting this team on, 'cause I know they can do it.".

Kim Mulkey's LSU Tigers entered the game undefeated, and so did the Gamecocks. South Carolina won the contest 88-64.

Flau'jae Johnson and LSU went on to finish the season 34-2 and win the national championship.
