Dawn Staley completes perfect season

Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks went undefeated all season and beat the Iowa Hawkeyes in the national championship to win the team's second championship in three years.

Staley won Coach of the Year for her efforts, but she says the undefeated season was unexpected.

"We've exceeded expectations, internal and externally," Staley said after winning her third consecutive Naismith Coach of the Year Award. "To be undefeated ... so unexpected. So, so very unexpected. There are plenty of times when I thought we should've won a national championship, but we didn't. This is somewhat of a repayment."

"I felt it at the very beginning of the season, they said give me three words to describe this team and I said, 'expect the unexpected,'" Staley recalled on Good Morning America. "They have taken us through incredible highs and lows."

Staley is 440-106 all-time as the head coach of South Carolina and has 109 wins and just three losses in the past three seasons.
