A reporter made an embarrassing mistake at Dawn Staley's postgame press conference on Sunday night.
South Carolina got blown out by UCLA in the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament national title game on Sunday evening. Staley, who has won three national championships, was unable to get her fourth. Cori Close and the UCLA Bruins program were dominant from start to finish, winning 79-51.
Following the game, a reporter seemingly tried to cheer Staley up, by bringing up the fact that the No. 1 recruit in the country, Saniyah Hall, is committed to USC. Unfortunately, it's not the University of South Carolina. It's the University of Southern California.

“As the South Carolina Gamecocks look to bring in Saniyah Hall for next year how excited are you to have her into this program?” the reporter asked.
Staley replied: “Who?”
The reporter then seemingly realized her mistake.
“Saniyah Hall? Actually never mind," she replied.
Staley took it in stride: "The other USC."
Everyone makes mistakes, but that was a tough one in that big of a spot.
