IT’S TONIGHT! A new episode of "The Follow" with Gamecock baseball premieres tonight only on Gamecocks+.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 On Set. FAMS, you’ll see a familiar face when you tune in for the women’s college basketball Final Four on Friday. Our very own Aliyah Boston will join ESPN’s studio live in Cleveland and broadcast alongside Elle Duncan, Andraya Carter, Chiney Ogwumike, and Carolyn Peck during the Final Four. Coverage starts on Friday at 6:00pm ET on ESPN.

“It is a dream to be a part of such a special weekend and I’m so glad that God has opened this door for me. I could not be happier to join this incredible team,” Boston said. “As a player, there was no bigger thrill than the Final Four. I’m really excited to return, share my experience, and shine a light on the amazing players we’ll see take the court in Cleveland.”

🔼 Playing Augusta. South Carolina women’s golf All-Americans Hannah Darling and Louise Rydqvist are competing at the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Just look at this incredible shot from Darling!

🔼 Make That Another One. Coach Staley is your Naismith Coach of the Year! Our legendary coach becomes the first in the award’s history to win it three straight times.

Meanwhile, you can add WBCA Defensive Player of the Year and another All-America honor to Kamilla Cardoso’s resume! Our standout senior was named to the John R. Wooden Award presented by Principal All-American Team, which is composed of the top 10 players who received the most votes ahead of the presentation of the Wooden Award.

And speaking of Gamecock women’s basketball and honors, signee Joyce Edwards, this year’s Gatorade National Player of the Year, earned the co-MVP Award at the McDonald’s All-American game this week. Edwards posted a game-high 19 points as she and the East team defeated the West.

🔼 Walk It Off. South Carolina softball beat Winthrop in style yesterday, walking it off in the 11th inning with a 2-1 win! Denver Bryant delivered the game-winning hit. South Carolina will be back on the field on Friday night for a three-game home series against Mississippi State.
