Gamecocks are starting to play good defense; that's a start. Hopefully, this team continues to gel and improve. Always a good thing when we can pull our own weight in these conference challenges.

BC kept it close early, but at around the midway point in the first half we took control and never really let them back into the game. The defense was really good last night, especially in the first half. Once we got to a double digit lead, you could see the demeanor of BC players change from "we're in this" to frustration.
