When Chris Silva is on the court, that gives USC another much-needed weapon on both ends of the court.    The 6-9 sophomore has set career-highs in points three times this season with his most recent personal best coming against Ole Miss with 16 points.   Against Florida, Silva put up 11 points...

By ADAM ORFINGER  | 01/19/2017 | The Daily Gamecock     South Carolina women's basketball has reached the national spotlight in the last couple years, as Dawn Staley has led the Gamecocks to three straight SEC titles and the program's first ever Final Four. Much of the attention has gone to...

It's the most self-delusional time of the year, and everyone's gonna tell the same lies together!      1. Rival U is cheating significantly more than my school is.   2. Our many JUCO signees have unique stories full of context and nuance, unlike Rival U's, who are bad people.   3. Recruiting...

COLUMBIA — It wasn’t difficult to find orange in the capital city on Tuesday, even blocks from Clemson’s biggest rival.   Two cars, both with Tiger paw flags firmly affixed to each side, parked on Assembly Street in front of the Richland County Public Library. Two women wearing matching Clemson...

  The start of the second semester marks a convenient midpoint in the South Carolina women's basketball season, with half of the 28-game regular season now decided.   Outside of a Dec. 4 hiccup at Cameron Indoor to the now No. 13-ranked Duke Blue Devils, the Gamecocks have perfectly navigated a...

Like the bloom of forsythia, South Carolina baseball is one of the few dependable harbingers of spring in Columbia. The Gamecocks traditionally begin their slate of spring scrimmages at the end of January, well before Punxsutawney Phil can even attempt to get his act together.   This is not the...

  After last year’s record-setting season that saw the South Carolina men’s basketball team just miss the NCAA tournament, the goal of this year’s team has been to make the tournament.   Returning key players such as Sindarius Thornwell, Duane Notice and PJ Dozier, these Gamecocks started the...

When you compare production to minutes played, South Carolina’s best player Saturday afternoon in the 79-68 victory over Texas A&M at Colonial Life Arena might have been freshman Rakym ‘Rah’ Felder.   In just 16 minutes, Felder scored a team-high 19 points (equaling Duane Notice) on 6-8...

If there’s any team in college basketball refusing to pat themselves on the back for their impressive performance during the non-conference portion of the season, it’s South Carolina.   The Gamecocks were the next-to-last team in the country to taste defeat last season, winning their first 15...

The extreme level of ambiguity towards defining success in college football is unique to the sport. That ambiguity is ingrained in the game's origins. It is part of its beauty. It is also confounding.   The mystique surrounding the subject resonates back to the fact that, throughout its history...

Why should South Carolina fans want to travel back to Alabama to watch their team in the Birmingham Bowl? It was such a miserable experience last time, they say, harboring ill feelings from the end of the 2009 season and remembering those moments from eight years ago like they were just...

OK Gamecock fans.....how do you see this one playing out? I personally don't care for this matchup, and it's not like we're going to get a lot of "street cred" for winning this one, and we could easily lose it. I will withhold my prediction until I can do some further research however, despite...

All right, Gamecock fans......this is the moment we've all been waiting for!  Clemson at 10-1 hosts the 6-5 Gamecocks! On the surface, this looks like a no-brainer of a game.  But I believe Clemson will be playing not to lose, whereas the Gamecocks will be playing with "house money". This...

We came so close to another top-ranked tumble. But, alas, Michigan State threw an interception on a 2-point conversion and another interception to seal a 17-16 loss, and No. 2 Ohio State survived. No. 3 Michigan also struggled with Indiana, but won 20-10.   No. 5 Louisville, however, got run out...

We live in a different world than we did Tuesday night.   It's like The Purge, the Red Wedding and The Walking Dead all at once. No one is safe. There's a lot of uncertainty and transition about to happen, and things are going to look very different than they have in the past.   Three of the...

OK, so those pesky Catamounts from Cullowhee come down to Columbia and mess with our bowl hopes. It's happened before, as The Citadel was also a Southern Conference member. However: 1) Western Carolina is 2-8 on the year; 2) Muschamp, not Elliott, is the head coach; 3) The team has obviously...

  By ABE DANAHER  | 11/13/2016 | The Daily Gamecock   Driving layup, commanding defensive rebound, steal and assist. That was how the second half started for PJ Dozier and the South Carolina Gamecocks. It was just three minutes in the first game of the season, but already PJ Dozier looks like a...

By DAVID CARAVIELLO  - Charleston Post & Courier   COLUMBIA — It was a nerve-rattling experience in a loud, hostile stadium full of orange, and it showed. South Carolina’s young football players will hope to handle it better in two weeks, when they’ll be in very similar surroundings.   The...
