If there’s something that most people can agree on, it is that TikTok has become a bit of a guilty pleasure. Its mesmerizing algorithm enchants us all for hours. Notably, that includes South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley.

Recently, the legendary coach revealed the desperate measures she’d take without the app: “How will you spend your time falling asleep when there’s no TikTok?! Me,” Staley posted on Instagram while showing off her brand-new Galaga machine.

Coach Staley surely has more than enough on her plate, so whatever works for her and helps her get some sleep and stay fresh. The Gamecocks are striving to repeat as national champions, and it will be a rocky road back to the top.

Staley will also have a reason to stay busy off the court with the start of Unrivaled, a 3-on-3 women’s basketball league where she’s an investor, as the competition starts on Friday.

“I think it’s a great time because we’re in a great place where women’s basketball is wanted, we’re in demand,” Staley said Wednesday. “I think it’s going to be a success and I would have supported it without monetarily supporting it just because I am a fan and enthusiast of women’s basketball.”
