South Carolina WBB: News • Schedule • Roster • Stats • SEC • Polls • WNBA • Scholarship Chart
The ESPY nominations were released Wednesday morning and the nominees included the Gamecocks and A’ja Wilson.
Wilson is nominated for Best Female Athlete and Best WNBA Player. The 2023-24 South Carolina women’s basketball team is nominated for Best Team.
Wilson led the LAs Vegas Aces to their second consecutive WNBA title last season after being infamously snubbed in the MVP voting. She settled for Defensive Player of the Year and Finals MVP.
So far this season, Wilson has put together arguably the greatest season in league history. She is averaging 27.8 points, which would shatter the previous record, and 11.6 rebounds, which is 0.2 behind the existing record. Wilson is also second in the WNBA in blocks.

South Carolina went 38-0 and won its second national championship in three years, and third in program history. Despite replacing all five starters from last season’s team, which lost its only game in the Final Four, South Carolina became just the tenth team in NCAA history to finish undefeated.
South Carolina had the best defense in the country and the third-best offense, combining for the nation’s top scoring margin. Over the last three years, South Carolina has been ranked number one in all but one AP Poll. The Gamecocks haven’t lost a regular season game since 2021 or a home game since 2020.
The other nominees for the best team are the Kansas City Chiefs (NFL), Michigan Wolverines (NCAA Football), Las Vegas Aces (WNBA), UConn Huskies (NCAA Men’s Basketball), Oklahoma Sooners (NCAA Softball), Boston Celtics (NBA), Florida Panthers (NHL), and Texas Rangers, MLB.
