Gamecocks create digital frenzy after championship win

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO)– From the court to the screens the whirlwind of excitement cannot be contained as it is fueling a digital frenzy.

The University of South Carolina’s Social Media Insights Lab is analyzing the reaction to the Gamecock Women’s Basketball Championship.
