Dawn Staley and the South Carolina women's basketball team put the women's college basketball world on notice Saturday.

Staley and her crew were "in the building," as the kids say, for College GameDay shenanigans and to be honored on the field ahead of a wild matchup with LSU. While chatting with the GameDay staff, Staley talked about the upcoming season and some of her team's goals, including running it back with the national championship trophy.

Despite losing a pivotal player in the team's starting lineup, like Kamilla Cardoso, to the WNBA, Staley says the goal remains the same. With the help of guard Raven Johnson, here's what she told fans and anyone watching the broadcast (See the clip below and the 1:15 mark of the YouTube video):

"[I'm] excited for this group, for this team to — what do we call it, Raven? — the repeat tour. Let's go! Let's go!"

Sending thoughts and good vibes to the women's college basketball field. May the odds be ever in your favor.
