South Carolina’s shot-blocking, winning-time forward
In the 2019-20 season, Mikiah Herbert Harrigan was a major two-way force for South Carolina, averaging 13.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.67 blocks per game while starting all 33 games on a 32-1 team that finished No. 1 nationally.[2][3] Her calling card was rim protection and big-game edge—she helped the Gamecocks win the 2017 title, later earned SEC Tournament MVP honors in 2020, and built a reputation as an emotional, defensive-minded forward who changed games without needing the offense to run through her.[2][4]
