[USCya]

Good SEC - ACC matchup.

Go Cocks!

[jared]

GO COCKS!!!

[garnet4ever]

Let's do this COCKS!!:wink:

[CoverTwo]

If we can keep Fells and Hickson in check, we SHOULD be ok..Coster is pretty good too.

[CockEyes]

Giving up a lot of size

[Rooster3233]

Would love to beat an ACC team to start the season. Go Cocks!!

[USCocks3]

Giving up a lot of size

I think we go into almost every game knowing we are giving up size, with this team I think we are better off with the 3 guard set.

[WayzUp]

Hopefully our better rebounders stay out of early foul trouble and we continue to play good perimeter defense. If we can't out-rebound them we need to win the turnover margin, force the action when we do get rebounds and hit our free throws.

GO COCKS!!!

[khosk]

Go Gamecocks.

[WayzUp]

Does anyone know anything about NC State? Where do they rank in the A-she-she? Middle of the pack? More toward the top? Bottom feeders?

[jared]

why isnt the game comin on yet

[The Rooster]

i think NC State is near the top of the division this year. They have that excellent freshman and they have good size. Lets get downey and frederick the ball early and let them get in the groove...

[jared]

i thought it was at 12 30 but the tv says 1

[jared]

ok never mind game will start in about 8 min

[The Dude]

Does anyone know anything about NC State? Where do they rank in the A-she-she? Middle of the pack? More toward the top? Bottom feeders?

many expect them to finish third in the ACC behind UNC and Duke

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

4-4 tie early..

[jared]

6-4 state

[jared]

8-7 st.

[jared]

9-8 us. its goin back and forth. they're really takin advantage of our size down low

[BlackMagicCock]

Why cant we ever rebound..every year...and now muldrow and holmes hit the eaisest shot under the basket

[jared]

Why cant we ever rebound..every year...and now muldrow and holmes hit the eaisest shot under the basket

because were small

[roosterrizk1]

Mike Holmes is working hard !!!

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

does anyone else have as big of a problem making layups when you play some basketball as our players do?

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

why is NCST getting away with all kinda hacks and jumping into our guys on rebound? I just watched on that last exchange a hack on the arm and chest bump and nothing was called until the ball finally put back in the basket.

[roosterrizk1]

To all the folks complaining, my Gamecocks are up Baby !!!

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Downey with a 3 at the halftime buzzer! Shot that thing from the Colonial Center and made it in Florida!

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

GRRRREAT SHOT BY DOWNEY!! Up by 4 at half!

[Cockholio]

Downey with a 3 at the halftime buzzer! Shot that thing from the Colonial Center and made it in Florida!

Incredible shot! Major TV highlight material.

[TheMule]

Thanks for the updates, guys. Some of us are working today so keep them coming! Thanks!!!

[CockyChrisCox]

if we want to win this game we're going to have to make these easy shots under the basket.

give the d credit tho- they really came to play.

we also look like we've improved on the glass- not great, but it's been adequate.

go cocks- this would be a nice win on the resume

[BlackMagicCock]

That commentators teeth dont look up to ESPN standard

[roosterrizk1]

Win lose or draw, this team hustles and plays hard. You can also track the game online for those at work. uscsports.com. Its pretty cool.

[BlackMagicCock]

49-44 Cocks

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

We're looking good today... Lookin' like a tourney team..

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

51 46 good guys.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

alright this just plum stupid. We miss way too many easy layups. I guess we know what we need to practice on for a few hours.

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

51 48 Cocks with around 7 to go.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

We're looking good today... Lookin' like a tourney team..

Do you mean NIT Tourney cause I haven't seen a team that can play in the NCAA today. We've rebounded better but our layup making ability worries me to no end. You miss this many layups in SEC play and you won't win a dang game.

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

Do you mean NIT Tourney cause I haven't seen a team that can play in the NCAA today. We've rebounded better but our layup making ability worries me to no end. You miss this many layups in SEC play and you won't win a dang game.

Yes, NIT... That's as "Tourney" as it gets in this era of Gamecock basketball.

[KingCock]

Can't make layups or free throws

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

I am coughing in symbolism of our team choking and blowing a 9 point lead.

[snoopcockycock]

i just don't know how this team scored over a 100 and two more games of 90 or more, because they just can't shoot. and they have no idea what to do with a lead! this is a frustrating team to watch.

oh, and nobody rebounds, at all!!!!

[bhusc2002]

our rebounding is better today than it was yesterday. holmes has 12

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Holmes rebounds. No one else does but Holmes does. It's amazing we are even in this game when you think about how many missed layups and point blank jumpers we've missed.

[snoopcockycock]

this team does not look good today. they look scared and sloppy. nobody wants to go to the rim. they just sit around and wait to see what downey is going to do. and even downey looks off today. for him to supposedly be so quick, every guard i have seen play against him, just goes right around him, constantly.

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

Wow, 23 offensive rebounds... and we're LOSING... HIT A DAMN FREE THROW and a LAYUP every once in a while!

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

WeHail thats asking too much from this team. One thing at a time.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

way to blow 9 point lead boys, good luck with your season, play like this some more and you won't win a game in the conference. Real Talk!

[COCKYCOCK]

I don't blame team. I blame Odems inabillity to put his above average atheletes in below average spots. Great plan at the end of the game he drew up huh??

[evilpoptart]

sigh...



We build Odom a brand new arena so his team can finish last in the SEC... but we cant see to get our shit together to build our Championship winning baseball team their baseball stadium.

[TheMule]

Score?

Easy there big fella... we've got a young & inexperienced team. They'll get better as the season goes on. NC State is no powder puff, so I thought it was ipressive that we gave them such a contest. I look for this team to do some pretty amazing things this season and surprise some people.

[snoopcockycock]

i am soooooooooooooo tired of being disappointed by all of our programs.

[dgusc06]

#$^&!!! We should have won that game by double digits. We played incredibly well and then misses layups and free throws ALL GAME LONG! Rediculous! im pissed. i need to calm down some

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Never were more true words spoken :rotfl:

Hey I know what ya mean.. I'm pissed too, blown opportunity. But we've got a whole season left. They're gonna get their share of wins.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

I don't blame team. I blame Odems inabillity to put his above average atheletes in below average spots. Great plan at the end of the game he drew up huh??

I don't think that last play was Odom though. That was just a dumb ass play by our player. He decided he was Michael Jordan and was gonna prove it to the world. Instead he looked liked this white skinny nerd I knew in High School named Jordan, he couldn't play a lick of any sport.

[CoverTwo]

NCST is a Sweet 16 caliber team with Hickson, Costner, and Lafell..But we still should've won this game..Its frustrating but this team is A LOT better than they were at this point last year when we were only beating SC State by 2 points..Just give it some time, they'll be fine..Tons of potential.

[Snake]

Hopefully we get out of Orlando winning 2 out of 3

Good post! I'm pissed too that they blew this, but you're right and we still have a whole SEC season of opportunities left.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

if you believe NCST will make the Sweet 16 you are delliousnal. The fact is, they arent that good and we are worse. And I am tired of hearing how young of a team we are. I heard that last year, I heard that the year before, the year before that, I heard when we won our two NIT titles that if we were a lil more experienced we would have made the NCAAs. When are we gonna grow up then? Odom has a ton of Talent on this team with Homes, Downey and Fredricks and if he can't win this year with them, we need to fire him and hire that coach from Winthrop.

[Wardencock]

Can't make layups or free throws
Yep, that was the diffence. Can't make easy lay-ups. That was the same thing I thought. They need a lot of practice on them.

[Snake]

Seems like free throws hurt us every year:confused:

The coach from Winthrop isn't there anymore. He's at Wichita State... probably didn't spell that right but you know where I mean... and we don't want that guy, trust me I know. We weren't young last year, we just didn't have much talent outside Wallace & Kelly, and a serious lack of depth. This year we have the talent and the depth but the truth is what it is, they are a very young team, much like the football team is.

Greg Marshall isnt at Winthrop anymore..He is at Witchita State, and guess what, his team got killed last week when they finally played a legit team.

NCST isnt good? Yeah, right. Sidney Lowe's team is going to go a long way in the ACC this season. JJ Hickson is the best freshman in the ACC not named Kyle Singler, and Costner is a monster in the post and had a HUGE year last year. Trust me, they are going to give everyone they play in the ACC (including Duke & UNC) FITS when they play..They'll be around a 6 seed in the NCAA, and will be in the Sweet 16 if they can stay healthy.

It would've been a great resume booster had we held onto the lead.

And our team is YOUNG. WE HAVE ONE SENIOR, 1 Junior, and everyone else is sophs and frosh.

How is that not considered young? you have absolutely no clue about basketball.

[Snake]

NC St 63, USC 61

[hardcock2]

My thoughts also....I had to stop watchin' late in the first....they were driving me absolutely f'n nuts and my blood pressure way up!
:mad:

[WayzUp]

Seems like free throws hurt us every year:confused:
YUP. I DVR'd the game cuz we had family over again for a fish-fry (BLUEGILL & PERCH, WOOT!!) so I just got done watching the game and if we hit even 60% of our free throws down the stretch, we win this game by 6+ going away. No doubt in my mind....and it's been a problem for a few years but then, a lot of fundamentals like free throws have gone by the wayside for most teams the past few years. It's why we suck compared to other national teams who're just learning the game and concentrate on those things while we worry about 3PT% and other non-fundamental aspects of the game.

[Go Cocks]

Gracious, lighten up. This is a young team that has never traveled away from home as a team and many are new college students. A few weeks ago some on here were talking crap about them being picked 6th in the East and now you're complaining that in their first road game and tournament, playing two games in a row, which they've never done, you're going to cash in the season and fire the coach? You've gone mad and need to take a deep breath. NC State is a good team. Don't give these young guys grief as soon as they get started. Basketball is a very long season. They'll get better, just relax. They put themselves in position to win. They'll learn. Give them tomorrow off and their shooting percentage should be better on Sunday.

[hardcock2]

I understand what your saying Go Cocks, but to miss layup after layup or point blank shots, and 'free' throws isn't going to cut it no matter where they play as evidence against Southern Cal. Odom's teams have consistently been horrible from the free throw line....when in the hell is he gonna make the players practice them?...and practice ALOT!

[CoverTwo]

We were shooting a decent % before this game.

[Snake]

Here is the box score from today if anyone is interested:

http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/boxscore?gameId=273270152

(2-9) for free throws..........ouch!! (22%)

33% from the field......we've got to get better!

[gAmkok]

I had to work and couldn't watch, but it sounds like more of the same. On the bright side... at least we're consistent from one year to the next, regardless of talent or depth. That's saying something, right?

In all seriousness though, I'm not quite ready to throw this team under the bus. I still think they have potential to be good, if they can play loose like they did the first couple games. I'm not too sure that's allowed in meaningful games though, if you catch my meaning. I guess we'll see.

[uscnoklahoma]

Until we get a big man we are going to continue to struggle...it's been a problem for years now. And by big I mean meat on the bones with the height. No skinny kids apply.

[CoverTwo]

Yeah a big meaty guy that slows our team down because he cant run the floor..I'll take one of those.

not.

Sure let me talk to my people, who will get in touch with your people with the winning numbers.

[uscnoklahoma]

not.

You don't have a clue do you....nah who would want a Shaq on their team. Duh...what was I thinking...I mean a Oden...yeah you're right. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I saw a Penn State guy rip the ball out of our guys hands the other day...wouldn't have happened to a big meaty guy. And Penn State ain't that good. The media almost has us pegged about right...I don't see us last but I don't see the NCAA's either.

[CoverTwo]

You don't have a clue do you....nah who would want a Shaq on their team. Duh...what was I thinking...I mean a Oden...yeah you're right.

Dont be dumb. Shaq is a once in a lifetime thing. He is the exception. The game is changing.

Greg Oden can run the floor as well as be physical in the post. That is the thing that makes him special. I'll take a big "meaty" guy if he can run. But if he is going to be another Mitchell Carter, or some other slow oaf forget it.

All the great big man these days can run (hell even when Big Baby was @ LSU, he was getting up and down the floor)...But I guess you want another Tony Kitchings.

[hardcock2]

Kitchings was better than anything we have now, and he sure didn't miss point blank layups.

[Acockolypse Now]

We were outscored 15 - 2 at the stripe. 13 points more than we got off the stripe.

Ouch.

[tptgamecock]

We just could not buy a basket down the stretch. I felt we had our chances but blowing a 9 point lead in the second half really hurts. But, I am not discouraged. I think we have a lot of potential and will continue to improve. Gooooo Gamecocks!!!

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Yeah and most of the media picked either So Cal or LSU to win the national title in football. They aren't always right. I wasn't impressed with them. The fact is, if we could make a mother freaking layup (which is something you should know how to do by the time you are 7) we would have killed them.

And I am not saying we aren't young, I am just saying I am tired of hearing that as an excuse anytime we don't play like we are capable of playing. Perhaps instead of us being inexperienced, maybe we just sucked! If you can't make a point blank layup, why are you even playing basketball?

The things that are killing us right now are things you should know how to do by now or you shouldn't even be playing the sport.

[clemson sucks]

Teams predicted to do good usually do good, and recruits that are five and four stars usually are good.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

I agree, I won't argue that, I am just saying the media ain't always right like was being thrown up like they were.

I guess what irritates me more than anything is you hear about these young guys coming in that are good and then you watch them not know how to rebound or make a layup. I mean this is fundamental stuff. This not something they should have to be taught to do now. I mean look at all these other young future stars and they know what they are doing already. I mean OJ Mayo for Southern Cal looked like he was a Senior the other night. The kid is a freshman! Why can't we get some kids that just do the funadmentals right and then let everything else come from that?

[clemson sucks]

Why can't we get some kids that just do the funadmentals right and then let everything else come from that?Yeah I agree with that too. I watched the first half because I had a playoff game tonight and had to get to the school ealy and the missed layups were making me mad. But, from what I watched, we were playing good defense which is good. But it is really annoying when your point guard sets players up and they can't convert.

[clemson sucks]

Until we get a big man we are going to continue to struggle...it's been a problem for years now. And by big I mean meat on the bones with the height. No skinny kids apply.I agree with you. I have been waiting on us to get a Hibbert or Oden type player.

[Singaporecock]

I've heard the same excuses year in and year out with teams coached by dave odom. Frankly I am sick and tired of it and wonder how long people will use the same excuses...either the team is young, he doesnt have the talent he needs (which is his fault by the way), USC wont put enough into the basketball program so we can never hope to match up against teams in the SEC, blah blah blah...give me a break with the excuses. What happened to all the talk after the first nit championship...with how good we were going to be. Then after the second with how good we were going to be. Then last year with how good we were going to be with the transfers...now we are just young so we will be good....then what will it be???? (I'm ready to be called a nonfan...so bring it on or ban me or delete this post cause i am not wearing garnet colored glasses)

Big Baby did NOT run the floor. Occassionally he would make ONE run on ONE play, then have to hit the bench. He very frequently had to take short breaks and I've also read an interview where he just laughed about the shape he was in. Regarding the game yesterday though, what lost it was toward the end, a couple of our players looked like they were on some playground somewhere, shooting shots after twirling 360s and not setting. I can't really comment on that last play. I do believe it wasn't something (or at least the player) Odum had in mind to take that shot in that kind of traffic. I haven't read anything Odum had to say about it, but our play in the last 6 minutes or so was embarrassing. If our shooting stays around the 30% range, it's going to be a long year. These guys keep shooting the kinds of shots they were shooting, that stat definitely won't get better either.

[Spur20001]

Like I said in the post before this one, I haven't been impressed with NCST in the two games I've seen them in. Enough said, they aren't as good as the media or anyone else thought that they would be.

"If you can't make a point blank layup, why are you even playing basketball"?

Then all the pro players need to quit playing basketball, as all miss point blank layups.

Being young is not an excuse, that is a fact.

Maybe another school to pull for would be good for you. This young team is going to develop into the best team we have had here in a long time, so quit bashing the coach, as you have done many times.

[COCKROCK]

What kills me more than anything is all of the missed shots under the basket. We looked good beyond the 3 point line and rebounded well, especially on the offensive boards....

If We can execute down in the paint better, I think this team will be good down the road and in league play.... I still think we have a legitimate shot at 20 wins with this team.

NC State was picked (3rd) in the preseason ACC poll, so this wasn't a second tier team we lost to.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Missing one here and there is excusable. Missing 10 to 15 a game, isn't! Think before you speak.

I was here long before do was here and will be here long after he is gone. We have all heard all of this talk for years and they do nothing but continue to make excuses. Being the best team we've had in a long time will not take much now will it since we've not had a winning SEC record in 7 or so years!!!
