@ FurmanCock:

Grant Polk getting some decent run in the game. Honestly I had forgot he was in our recruiting class for the year. Nice 6'6" frame and moves his feet really well.

@ doublea1971:

Polk is definite making a case for some minutes.

@ doublea1971:

Butler has such a nice stroke, but has very little ability to play defense at this point. He’s proving to be a rotational 6-8 minutes/game player if he keeps doing what he’s done so far.

C @ crowcutta:

i think our bigs are 5-6 from 3.

Yesterday at 1:26 AM

@ FurmanCock:

Yep, and I don't think he's maxed out his upside yet. He's shown more aggression down low (first half), so has worked on that part of his game from last year.

Yesterday at 1:27 AM

@ doublea1971:

REALLY like Elijah Strong’s game. Not much weakness in any aspect.

Yesterday at 1:28 AM

@ FurmanCock:

Eli seems really good about chesting up his player defensively without reaching with his hands. Even in mid-air.

SPARKMAN!!!

@ FurmanCock:

Wow, really nice pass fake by Ellis for a wide open jumper at the FT line.

Yesterday at 1:32 AM

@ doublea1971:

Can we hang a hundo on NC A&T?

Yesterday at 1:37 AM

@ FurmanCock:

Kapic is reminding me of a better shooting (beyond the arc) Frank Martin European player.

Reactions: doublea1971

Yesterday at 1:37 AM

@ doublea1971:

Sparkman still playing.

Yesterday at 1:42 AM

@ FurmanCock:

Chick-Fil-A for all!

Yesterday at 1:44 AM

@ FurmanCock:

Good win for the Gamecocks, 91-72. Got a little sloppy in the second half, and went on a little scoring drought when they hit 82 points, but I'll take it since we lost our first game last year.

Yesterday at 2:00 AM

@ doublea1971:

Three starters in double figures. Ellis and Strong with 11 each off the bench. Good efforts all around.

Yesterday at 2:01 AM

@ doublea1971:

43.8% from behind the arc. That’s not bad at all.

Reactions: gamecock88

Yesterday at 2:03 AM

@ doublea1971:

Ellis with 5 assists to 2 TO’s, Meechie with 4/1 ratio. Nobody with more than 2 turnovers.

@ gamecock88:

It’s one game vs a lower level opponent but there’s some visible reason for improvement. I worry about the overall size of the team vs SEC teams in the paint.

Yesterday at 1:13 PM

@ gamecock88:

Gave up quite a bit of transition scores to NCAT. Those dudes love to run and push it up court. Really liked their style of play.

Yesterday at 1:14 PM

@ kingofnerf:

Sparkman back after studying abroad in Chile last year. We will do well this year because Eli is back on the team. That's my story and I am sticking to it. LOL

C @ crowcutta:

we essentially can play 4 or 5 out almost no matter who we put on the floor. i liked kapic's defensive positioning, but we knew going into the season neither him or strong are rim proectors.

Yesterday at 9:45 PM

C @ crowcutta:

offensively i think we'll be better than our last tourney team. more guys on the perimeter who can create, more shooters, and more versatile bigs.

Reactions: FurmanCock

Yesterday at 9:54 PM

@ FurmanCock:

I think we will be able to score the ball much better than last year. Two areas that I am in a wait and see mode on are on transition defense (can we get back fast enough) and rebounding. But I am excited to watch and see what we do. Here's hoping for a good BB season on both the men's and women's teams.

Kapic has a really good stroke on the 3-ball also. As you noted, he's going to play below the rim, but I think he improves the team.

We showed last night we CAN get back on D. We just didn’t do it consistently. As I noted, I think Paris is focused on finding his starters and the next 3 right now. Defense is not a biggie for now, b/c of the slate of non-con teams. The guys are still learning each other. We don’t have the returning leadership, so Meechie and Stute will have to be the guys to help with the system defensively. It will happen, but other priorities are first.
