The fight is on.

South Carolina women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley was not thrilled at the sight of her former player and current Chicago Sky star Kamilla Cardoso getting denied at the rim by the Las Vegas Aces’ A’ja Wilson — another one of Staley’s star pupils with the Gamecocks.

“Oh no, don’t do that to Kamilla! Do not do that to Kamilla,” Staley exclaimed while watching the play unfold in a 95-83 Aces win. “I’m gonna fight, imma fight, imma fight, I wanna fight!”
