(Columbia, SC) -- Dawn Staley is supporting those who support her team.
The USC women's basketball coach yesterday said allegations that fans used the 'N' word or spit on Missouri players last weekend are false.
She also said she stands by the fans, what they represent, how they cheer and every single thing they bring to the table.
That fan support will be needed tonight, as the number-6 Gamecocks host number-one UConn.
