South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley made a fantastic wardrobe choice for Sunday's top-three clash with LSU, sporting a Randall Cunningham Philadelphia Eagles jersey on the team's bench.

Now that is how you get ready for Super Bowl Sunday.

Staley is from Philadelphia, and also spent some time as the women's basketball coach at Temple, and was obviously fired up for the Eagles Super Bowl appearance against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII later in the day.

Staley has been the head coach at South Carolina since the start of the 2008 season and has built the program into one of the nation's top women's basketball programs, winning National Championships in 2017 and 2022.

She is also a two-time Naismith coach of the year winner.
