This USC team might play better on the road than at home.   I'm looking forward to the game.   Glad Couisnard is back.    I think USC is going to improve going forward.   

 

[tkousc]

Decent first half up 1.  Defense has been good.  The refs are definitely not on our side.

 

[ConwayGamecock]

Wow, 3 consecutive dunk attempts for the Gamecocks, all missed. Still a tight game - both teams struggling to make shots. 54-52 Vols with under 2 minutes left to play......

 

[ConwayGamecock]

Gamecocks lose 56-55. A painful loss, as the Vols are not a good shooting team this year, and they struggled mightily to score on their home floor. But we made sure to struggle just as much, if not more than they did. We shot 13-22 at the charity stripe in a 1-point loss......

 

[Gary]

USC SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Make two FT, or one FG and we win.   But this bunch of incompetents couldn't do it.   Looking at an 0-3 start in the SEC.  

Lawson is AWFUL!!!   An embarrassment.

Have to let Couisnard and Hannibal play more than Lawson and Bolden.   Both of those guys are pathetic.

 

[Gary]

Have to play Couisnard and Hannibal at PG.   And probably playing them together is our best back court.    Have to let Kotsar get more touches.   He's the best shooter by percentage.  If Lawson and Bolden don't start making shots, I think this team will struggle to avoid the bottom of the SEC.
