South Carolina’s point guard, Raven Johnson, has responded assertively to remarks made by an Indiana player suggesting weaknesses in the Gamecocks’ roster. Johnson’s performance on March 29, 2024, during the Sweet 16 matchup against Indiana, highlighted her growth and determination. She scored a career-high 14 points, including a pivotal three-pointer in the final minute, leading South Carolina to a 79-75 victory.
Reflecting on the previous season’s challenges, Johnson used perceived slights as motivation, stating, “I got bashed from a viral video that went so viral and people don’t know behind the scenes how I felt and what I went through.” She dubbed the season her “revenge season,” channeling negative experiences into exceptional on-court performances.
Johnson’s resilience and leadership have been instrumental in South Carolina’s success, dispelling any doubts about the team’s strength and cohesion.
