LAS VEGAS — In Aliyah Boston's first game at South Carolina, she became the first player in Division I history to secure a triple-double in a collegiate debut. It was the seventh in school history, putting her in her own rare air that didn't include predecessor and 2017 South Carolina national champion A'ja Wilson. It only elevated the comparisons between the two, and heightened the expectations of Boston.

It’s another way they’ll forever be linked, and a nod to the powerhouse built by Staley, the Gamecocks head coach, that extends beyond winning college basketball games. Much like UConn before it, South Carolina wants to successfully prepare players for their dreams at the next level. “My biggest goal was being able to adjust quickly,” Boston said. “And I think that as time has gone on, games have passed, I’ve been able to do that, especially as we’ve played a couple teams for more than one time.”
Boston is averaging 15.4 points , 8.4 rebounds and 1.3 blocks for a Fever squad that’s lost 12 of its 15 games by single digits. It includes an overtime loss to New York heading into the break. She’s hitting 61% of her shots, a highly efficient clip that is the best of any player attempting at least three shots a game. And she ranked sixth in the player vote for frontcourt players, a clear indication her presence on the team is deserved.
