In a dominant performance on Sunday, Dawn Staley’s No. 6 South Carolina extended their winning streak to four games by defeating No. 15 Kentucky in their final regular-season matchup. The Gamecocks’ impressive victory was celebrated by Staley on Instagram, where she posted a fun video for her 562k followers.

Staley, whose net worth is estimated at $12 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, shared a playful clip singing the McDonald’s jingle, saying, “Hey Mickie, you so fine, you so fine, you blow my mind… hey Mickie!” The post showcased her usual lighthearted and personable side, which fans have come to love.

Sunday’s triumph not only secured a share of the SEC regular-season title for South Carolina but also clinched the No. 1 seed for the upcoming SEC Tournament. The Gamecocks and Texas both finished 15-1 in conference play, but a coin flip ultimately determined South Carolina’s top spot.

In their regular-season finale, the Gamecocks hosted Kentucky, who despite being ranked No. 15 in the AP Poll, has faced challenges in the tough SEC. With this latest defeat, Kentucky now sits at 11-5 in the conference, placing them fifth in the standings.

Dawn Staley’s celebration comes after South Carolina’s strong performance against Kentucky.

The Gamecocks led 41-33 at halftime, but Kentucky mounted a comeback in the third quarter, outscoring South Carolina 20-17. With just 7:00 remaining, Staley’s squad was holding on to a slim one-point lead. However, South Carolina closed the game with a commanding 13-2 run in the final six minutes.

Sophomore Tessa Johnson led the Gamecocks’ offense, finishing with 16 points. Close behind were Te-Hina Paopao with 13 points and Chloe Kitts with 12 points. South Carolina dominated on the boards, out-rebounding Kentucky 44-28, and shot 49.2% from the field compared to Kentucky’s 42.9%.

With the regular season now behind them, the Gamecocks are poised to carry their momentum into the postseason and continue their quest for glory.
