South Carolina women’s basketball team, the 2017 NCAA champions, declined President Trump’s invite to the White House Friday.

The White House said 18 NCAA teams would attend the college sports championship gathering at the executive mansion.

However, Dawn Staley, the head coach of the University of South Carolina’s Gamecocks, said the team would be unable to attend.

“We did hear from the White House about attending (Friday’s) event, but we will not be able to attend,” Staley said in a statement. “As I’ve been saying since our practices for this season started, all of our focus is on the season ahead. The only invitation we are thinking about is to the 2018 NCAA Tournament.”
