COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The showdown between second-ranked South Carolina and fifth-ranked LSU featured the last two national champions and two of the best teams in the country this season.

It also showcased two of the most stylish coaches — fashion wise — in the women’s game in the Gamecocks’ Dawn Staley and the Tigers’ Kim Mulkey.

The two, who have combined for seven national titles, did not disappoint Friday in the regular-season matchup between their powerhouse programs.

Staley went all garnet — the school’s colors are garnet and black — with a Gucci sweatshirt and leather pants.

Mulkey sported a sparkly, black blazer adorned with stars, suns and moons.
