South Carolina Gamecocks Felt Disrespected Following Win Over Indiana
The South Carolina Gamecocks felt disrespected following their win over Indiana.
South Carolina’s women’s basketball team kept their national title hopes alive after defeating the Indiana Hoosiers in the round of 32. The Gamecocks will play the winner of the Alabama vs Maryland game, which will be played Monday evening.
The Gamecocks were trailing the Hoosiers at halftime and were at one point down by eight points. As great teams do though, South Carolina came crawling back and a strong second half performance lofted them over Indiana, and the Gamecocks had some strong words to share after their win.
The Hoosiers and Gamecocks faced off in the Sweet 16 a year ago. It was a tightly contested game and Indiana guard Sydney Parrish was asked about it prior to this season’s matchup.
Parrish told the media prior to Sunday’s matchup that they felt better about this year’s chances because South Carolina was “Without a 6-7 kid in there with Kamilla (Cordoso) and Ashlyn Watkins being injured at the beginning of this year, that definitely helps us.”
South Carolina guard Raven Johnson commented on the subject following the win.
“People say we don’t have this dominant big,” Johnson said. “I know y’all saw the press conference of what the Indiana girl said about we wasn’t gonna win without Ashlyn or Kamilla, we don’t need Ashlyn or Kamilla to win. We got a whole team full of dogs. We don’t need Ashlyn or Kamilla to win. We’ve got MiLaysia [Fulwiley], we’ve got Tessa [Johnson], I can name the whole roster. We’ve got dogs on this team.”
South Carolina heard all the chatter about what they don’t have. They’re more concerned with everything they do have.

It took a whole team effort for the Gamecocks to beat Indiana. Chloe Kitts poured in 10 points with 11 rebounds, Bree Hall led the way with 11 points and Sania Feagin also had 10 points in the team’s win. It’s part of what makes South Carolina so dangerous and why so many believe they will repeat as champions this year.

Man shot by security guard in hospital emergency room waiting area in Gary, Indiana
A man’s family is demanding answers after he was shot by a security guard inside a hospital emergency room waiting area on Tuesday night in Gary, Indiana.
Methodist Northlake Hospital officials said, around midnight Tuesday night, its security staff responded quickly after a patient took out a gun. The hospital said he’d threatened to shoot himself or others.
The hospital commended the security guard who shot the man for “neutralizing the threat and helping ensure the safety of our patients and employees.”
Family members identified the man who was shot as Otis Brown. They said he is a kind father to a 12-year-old boy.
“Just a great person, a happy-go-lucky, always out there trying to do the right thing,” said his fiancée, Stacey Taylor.
Taylor said she was on a business trip when she got a call that Brown had been shot multiple times.
“Scared, uncertainty; you know, what story is right? You know, what happened?” she said.
After he was shot, Brown was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center for treatment.
Taylor said she had no idea why Brown went to Methodist Northlake Hospital in the first place. His family said he was trying to leave the hospital when the shooting happened, claiming that the hospital gave him his gun back after he was cleared to leave.
“We just want to get answers, just want to know what happened, particularly when people are defaming his name,” Taylor said.
She and Brown’s family hope the hospital has surveillance video footage that can help provide answers.
Gary police have not provided any details on the shooting. The Lake County Sheriff’s Department said it is investigating the shooting at the request of Gary police, but did not provide any further information.
