Watch this... Musselman starts to key in our guards, and Frank goes back to bigs.  I see it coming.

Gamecocks maintaining that 6-pt lead 61-55 midway through the 2nd half.....

 

[ConwayGamecock]

Gamecocks 9-19 at the charity stripe.....

 

[doublea1971]

And as predicted... Kotsar is the key.

 

[doublea1971]

Gamecocks 9-19 at the charity stripe.....

I’ve said it before... our FT woes aren’t really hurting us.  In games we’ve lost... only vs. Tennessee would a FT or two have made the difference.

 

[ConwayGamecock]

9-23......our free throw shooting is killing us.......

And then a foul on Arky, and a technical on the Arky bench, and we hit all 4 FTs in a row......bipolar.....

 

[ConwayGamecock]

Apparently Leveque is unable to mount any effective defense against dribble-drives....they just drive into him, he stands still as a statue, and they call a foul. So he fouls out in 7 minutes.....

 

[AikenGameFan]

They refuse to call a charge on Arkansas

 

[doublea1971]

We’re playing TIGHT d right now, until Leveque doesn’t get feet set b/c of ball spacing.  Frustrating b/c we’re doing everything right.  Leveque even doing the right thing... just getting there late.

 

[doublea1971]

Gotta get it to 5 with 2:00 left to have a W.

 

[ConwayGamecock]

We cannot stop fouling......

 

[Spur's Addiction]

Gotta make these free throws.

 

[ConwayGamecock]

Huge 3-ptr by Bolden....especially since Arky hits a 3-ptr themselves right after....

78-75 Gamecocks 1:30 to play....

 

[doublea1971]

See what I mean about 5 points?  :headache:

 

[ConwayGamecock]

Arkansas has the ball down 77-79 with 27 seconds left to play....they call a 30-sec. timeout....

They bring the ball up...ball goes off Couisnard out of bounds, still Arky ball, now with 7 seconds left.....

PLEASE DO NOT FOUL!!!!!!

 

[doublea1971]

WHEW!!!

 

[markymark550]

Whew! Cardiac Cocks win 79-77!

 

[ConwayGamecock]

Arkansas misses the 3-point attempt!!! Gamecocks win!!!!!!

 

[markymark550]

I think I aged about 10 years tonight lol.
