Latson is the third Gamecock to wear 00. Beth Hunt wore it from 1989-90, and Petra Ujhelyi wore it from 2000-03.  Seven Gamecocks have worn a single 0, including Olivia Thompson and Te-Hina Paopao over the past six seasons. Under NCAA rules, 0 and 00 are not the same number, but a team can’t have both (unlike the NBA, where 0 and 00 can not only be on the same team, but play at the same time). Madina Okot will wear 11. Okot wore 15 at Mississippi State last season, but that was taken by Adhel Tac. She also wore 15 in Kenya. Okot is the 11th Gamecock to wear 11. Among the former 11s are Talaysia Cooper, Destiny Littleton, Lindsey Spann, and, of course, the Fan Favorite, La’Keisha Sutton. Okot is the first Kenyan to play for South Carolina. She and Agot Makeer, who has dual American/Can...
