The South Carolina Gamecocks women's basketball team may have finished its season, but all eyes are still on head coach Dawn Staley. 

South Carolina capped off the season with a loss to Geno Auriemma and the UConn Huskies in the national championship game. 

Despite the loss, the Gamecocks produced another Final Four appearance under one of the greatest coaches in women's basketball history. 

Before losing to UConn, South Carolina defeated Tennessee Tech, Indiana, Maryland, Duke and Texas. 

Now, the Gamecocks are preparing for another Final Four run. 

As they gear up for practice and off-season meetings to get ready for another season, Staley recently shared some exciting news outside the white lines.

Staley will be in South Carolina, making a stop in Columbia for her "Uncommon Favor" book tour.  

"Am my SC FAMs!" Staley said. "We are 3 weeks away from when we link up on my book tour for UNCOMMON FAVOR. Come on out May 29 to hear me in conversation with our very own, the Honorable J. Michelle Childs. Plus, you'll get a signed copy of my book and a quick pic with me. Let’s gooo!"

Staley had previously mentioned that she was going to make a few stops on her "Uncommon Favor" book tour, but the known locations were New York and Philadelphia. 

While she hinted that she's looking at expanding the tour to South Carolina, Staley made that official on Thursday. 

The South Carolina head coach mentioned that fans will receive a signed copy of her book as well as a photo with her. 

The meet-and-greet is currently scheduled for 6 p.m. ET May 29 and will be held at the R2i2 Conference Center.
