Dawn Staley praises Chloe Kitts' triple-double in South Carolina's win over Ole Miss

On Thursday, Chloe Kitts became just the ninth player in the South Carolina Gamecocks' history to record a triple-double and the first since Aliyah Boston in 2021. She finished with 16 points, 13 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists, along with four steals, while shooting 60%.

Kitts led South Carolina to a win that improved the Gamecocks' record to 26-3 overall and 14-1 in Southeastern Conference play. After the game on Thursday, coach Dawn Staley spoke about Kitts’ impressive display.

"It was the hard way," Dawn Staley said. "It was really the hard way. It was playmaking, it was determination, it was will. It was Chloe Kitts."

With 7:39 left on the clock, Kitts was one assist away from the achievement. She glanced toward the South Carolina bench, seemingly aware of how close she was. At 5:37, she supplied a pass to Joyce Edwards, whose layup narrowly missed.

Recognizing the opportunity, Staley called for a timeout with 4:03 remaining, with South Carolina leading 67-53. After the break, Kitts found Edwards again, and this time, the layup was successful. The South Carolina bench celebrated and cheered as Kitts sprinted back on defense with a smile on her face.
