What is so freakin hard about blocking out. Do they not practice that?????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????

[cack]

our defense looks pathetic ... Clemson is a good team ... but we're just playing extremely sloppy

[go_carolina_528]

Clemson is doing a good job causing pressure

[Cuck Flemson]

Fallin apart.

[COCKDIESEL]

This is kinda pathetic.

[morgan n' 7]

tech foul on Archie.

[go_carolina_528]

TECHNICAL?!?!

[Forkcock]

I hope we can hold it under 30.

[cack]

Archie with a fould then a technical foul

[Cuck Flemson]

This is hard to watch.

[M.C.]

ok changing channel now

[morgan n' 7]

27-11 CU

[cack]

they called us with a carry ... but #1 is carrying like crazy

[go_carolina_528]

ZAM WITH A 3!!!!

[morgan n' 7]

27- 14 CU

[CoverTwo]

They are just on fire right now.

Zam is the only one that wants to play.

[IBleedGarnetandBlack]

is it too early in the season to call for odom and his war chest of yadda yadda yadda to be escorted out of Columbia?

[Forkcock]

Clemson is plaing without their best player and they're killing us.

I know, we're young.

[brat]

Good thing Clempson has two of their players out with injuries or this could have gotten out of hand.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Today age has nothing to do with it...we are just horrible.

[morgan n' 7]

They are just on fire right now.

Exactly. Clemson hitting anything they fire up.

[brat]

Time to watch the SECCG.

[go_carolina_528]

is it too early in the season to call for odom and his war chest of yadda yadda yadda to be escorted out of Columbia?
Our next two games are against Providence and Baylor. If we lose both of them, I think you can start calling for him to get fired.

[uscnoklahoma]

Wait till next year...our players will be older and have a year of Odom Ball under their belts.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Wait till next year...our players will be older and have a year of Odom Ball under their belts.

I love your sarcasm :rotfl:

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

doesn't help either that the refs are pro Clemson. That was not a charge on Downey, the guy for Clemson was still jumping into position when Downey hit him.

I really thought too that Odom would have them working on Layups by now, I can see by Downey's easy miss there that this was not the case.

[cack]

i can't stand that one ref ... the one that just called the charge ... he's HORRIBLE ... it's sad you notice refs because of horrible calls made

[cack]

doesn't help either that the refs are pro Clemson. That was not a charge on Downey, the guy for Clemson was still jumping into position when Downey hit him.

I really thought too that Odom would have them working on Layups by now, I can see by Downey's easy miss there that this was not the case.

YEP!!!

[Forkcock]

Clemson is getting WIDE open shots and is out husstling us.

I'm sorry guys but that's coaching.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

it's even worse when they look at the replay and still see it a charge.

[cack]

these refs are horrible ... they can't even figure out who the damn foul is on ... this is pathetic

[CoverTwo]

You can cry, bitch, piss n moan all you want but the fact is that nothing is going to be done about our coaching situation until at least the end of the season.

[oldgreg]

Someone needs to yell RAPE, because that is what we are watching.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Guys this is reciepe for disaster.

1 cup of Clemson not missing anything
3 tsp of poor shooting by South Carolina
5 cups of Refs on Clemson's side

Stir well and you get a blow out in Clemson's favor and that's where this is heading.

[CoverTwo]

Zam with 12.

[morgan n' 7]

Guys this is reciepe for disaster.

1 cup of Clemson not missing anything
3 tsp of poor shooting by South Carolina
5 cups of Refs on Clemson's side

Stir well and you get a blow out in Clemson's favor and that's where this is heading. I'd say that's dead on.

[uscnoklahoma]

Guys whine all you want....that last sequence explains everything...Clemson wants it more and once again our lack of a big man kills on the inside. We need a 280lb 7 footer.

[CoverTwo]

Yep a 7 ft 280lb guy that is slow footed and uncoordinated.

[IBleedGarnetandBlack]

is this an acc or sec crew? either way they just plain suck. I'm still trying to figure out the double foul call on archie for going after the ball...I've seen more aggressive players get called for less if nothing...ie KC Rivers

[cack]

Guys whine all you want....that last sequence explains everything...Clemson wants it more and once again our lack of a big man kills on the inside. We need a 280lb 7 footer.

our lack of big man?? we have 6'7" 220lbs ... seriously??

case in point ... like normal ... our team is playing extremely sloppy ... turn overs ... the offensive plays DON'T WORK ... they never have ... we only score when the guys just play ... not run a play

[Forkcock]

The refs aren't costing us this game.

[Cuck Flemson]

Guys this is reciepe for disaster.

1 cup of Clemson not missing anything
3 tsp of poor shooting by South Carolina
5 cups of Refs on Clemson's side

Stir well and you get a blow out in Clemson's favor and that's where this is heading.



Dont forget about giving up all the offensive rebounds. That has killed us for years.

[JoeMorrison]

Did I miss something? Since when is it ok to play over someone's back?

[oldgreg]

Did any of you see the Purdue Clemson game earlier this week on tv. Purdue should have won that game if the refs were at all fair. Its kinda like playing football at Tennessee, you have to expect the refs to be completely one-sided and prepare for it. Unfortunately, right now, it wouldnt help if they were fair.

[CoverTwo]

ZAM!

[morgan n' 7]

Zam is playing well. 14 points.

[uscnoklahoma]

Yep a 7 ft 280lb guy that is slow footed and uncoordinated.

Still don't have a clue huh? Yeah that slow guy that could grab rebounds while our skinny punks stand on the outside scared to mix it up...nah who would want one of them guys when you can have a 160lb 6ft 7 guy. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:: rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::r otfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::ro tfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[uscnoklahoma]

The fact is we don't have anyone who has a clue about blocking out or rebounding.....Covertwo how much bball have you watched seriously...are you watching the same game the rest of us are...you know the one where Booker is kicking our ass?

[Crazy_Gamecock]

you guys do realize we are shooting 45%, so I hope you don't think it is this game we are shooting poor in

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

I didn't know you could knock a guy out of the way going for a loose ball cause Clemson's been doing that all day and getting away with it.

[CoverTwo]

You dont understand that guys like that dont fit our style of play..If we were a halfcourt offensive basketball team then yes, get a 7'0 guy that can bang around but all a guy like that is going to do for us is SLOW US DOWN. Just like Mitchell Carter will..We are a team that needs 6'9 - 6'10 guys that are athletic, and can run the floor.

Look at Clemson I dont see a 7'0 280 pounder out there. Get real.

[TheGamecock]

score?? I can't watch or hear the game...looks as if things are not going very well

[cack]

35-24 them

[Crazy_Gamecock]

so far the game has gone, unfortunately, exactly as I said it would. I stated we would have problems with the full court press all game, and devan would make bad decisions. We have 7 TO so far and 3 are on Downey from driving in the lane with 4 other Black shirts open. He needs to mature if we want to have a good season

[uscnoklahoma]

I didn't know you could knock a guy out of the way going for a loose ball cause Clemson's been doing that all day and getting away with it.

It's called hustle and wanting it...our guys have no hustle about em...plus they are too tiny to do anything anyways. Booker is basically having a field day out there. Kind of like the big kid playing against the preschoolers.

We ain't out of it but we will have to win from the 3 pt arc since we have no big men....

[TheGamecock]

thanks

[gvillegmck]

Watching the game, i feel like we are completely being out played, but we are keeping ourselves in it. If we could pull a run together we woud be fine.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

I definitely agree with everyone about the ACC refs, they are absolutely awful so far. Actually, awful is an understatement

[uscnoklahoma]

You dont understand that guys like that dont fit our style of play..If we were a halfcourt offensive basketball team then yes, get a 7'0 guy that can bang around but all a guy like that is going to do for us is SLOW US DOWN. Just like Mitchell Carter will..We are a team that needs 6'9 - 6'10 guys that are athletic, and can run the floor.

Look at Clemson I dont see a 7'0 280 pounder out there. Get real.

No but they do have more size than we do..

As for your other comment...maybe just maybe we should consider changing our style since our style is apparently meant for losers.....this is pathetic.

You have your view and I have mine...I call what you want a forward...I want a center...a real center.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

Watching the game, i feel like we are completely being out played, but we are keeping ourselves in it. If we could pull a run together we woud be fine.

That's the problem though, Clemson went over 4 minutes without hitting a field goal and we cut the lead from 15 to 11. That's not getting it done

[CoverTwo]

Well then hope that our next coach can recruit against the likes of Duke, UNC, Florida, Kansas because guess what that is where the real centers go.

[cack]

It's called hustle and wanting it...our guys have no hustle about em...plus they are too tiny to do anything anyways. Booker is basically having a field day out there. Kind of like the big kid playing against the preschoolers.

We ain't out of it but we will have to win from the 3 pt arc since we have no big men....

Zam is extremely lazy on defense ... Holmes looks to be a big time future player

[CockySpurrier85]

I've been one of the biggest Odom supporters this board has seen but I'm growing pretty tired of his awful coaching and his inability to make his players hustle.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

if I was Odom and I saw anyone not hustling, I would bench them.

[JoeMorrison]

How the hell are we supposed to establish any kinda game when we're getting called for "palming"...how the heck can they concentrate on playing the damn game?

[CockySpurrier85]

One more thing that I hate is that Muldrow may struggle some offensively and with his overall coordination but he is our best rebounder and shot blocker, and IMO he isn't on the floor enough. Why do we play Day and Evka??? I'm pretty sure Evka is the most useless player I've ever seen. He can't rebound, defend, or get open for shots and all Day can do is take fouls, make dumb plays, and miss 3-point attempts. I'm so frustrated!

[Forkcock]

Let's give Odom 4 or 5 more years to produce. If he hasn't done by then, he's toast.

[brat]

Our "style of play" has been sucking for eight years and going well into our ninth. Odom's style of play doesn't work.

[CoverTwo]

We are not very good at spacing..We get clustered up and it allows Clemson to swarm the ball..Odom needs to make some big time adjustments.

[go_carolina_528]

42-24 Clemson

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

How the hell are we supposed to establish any kinda game when we're getting called for "palming"...how the heck can they concentrate on playing the damn game?

Palming is something you aren't suppose to do. It's part of the game, it just shows how bad we really are right now.

[CockySpurrier85]

Our "style of play" has been sucking for eight years and going well into our ninth. Odom's style of play doesn't work.

Odom is only responsible for 6 going into 7 years. Fogler was good but McGee was an idiot AD.

[uscnoklahoma]

Our guys are used to streetball...bad streetball.

[CockySpurrier85]

We are not very good at spacing..We get clustered up and it allows Clemson to swarm the ball..Odom needs to make some big time adjustments.

Yeah our defensive plan is jam the middle set picks on ourselves and give Clemson the open three, ability to drive from the outside, and ability to crash the boards from the outside. Pretty putrid...

[cockman97]

No inside presence will kill you.

[go_carolina_528]

Let's give Odom 4 or 5 more years to produce. If he hasn't done by then, he's toast.
IMO, If we dont make the tourny this year then we need to get rid of Odom. He has had 7+ years to get this team together. I am all for getting Marshall from Wichita State if we can.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Downey's first basket and it was with a minute left in the half. Our guys need to wake the F up and start playing like they give a shit or they need to F'n leave our school cause I would rather have a bunch of no talent guys with heart and fire than a ton of talent who don't give a shit.

Yes! I am mad as hell!

[Crazy_Gamecock]

I'm glad to see someone beside myself think that Evka is not what the students want him to be. He is lucky to even be on our SEC team. He wouldn't get recruited by another

[SoCarFan]

Tough being a Gamecock fan....unless you like Equestrian.

[CoverTwo]

When you have an athletic team like we have you have to be able to space the floor on offense and penetrate..You also have to be able to shoot a decent % from the field..We arent doing any of that right now and are getting killed.

Defensively its all about hustle and effort..and we arent showing any of that.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

ok first off, I don't care if we make the tourney this year, if we lose this bad to Clemson it will be 3 straight years losing by 19 points of more. Pathetic. And please stop with the god awful Greg Marshall hirings, we need a real coach, not Greg Marshall

[go_carolina_528]

Bad shot by Ross

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

why do I guys just take random shots that serve no purpose? Is that poor coaching or just lack of intelligence?

[CockySpurrier85]

I know this may be unfair but I'm so frustrated with Downey and his inability to finish on a drive. I've never seen a PG drive past defenders have a wide open basket and throw up a brick more than he does. That is one part of Kelley's game that I miss....

[Forkcock]

What a waste of school funds.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Devan "The Brick" Downey is his new nickname from me until he can learn to make a layup!

[uscnoklahoma]

why do I guys just take random shots that serve no purpose? Is that poor coaching or just lack of intelligence?

Nah that's just those intelligent athletic kids some love....personally I would rather have a team full of Kurt Rambises but that's just me :rotfl::rotfl:

[PyroPepper]

Somebody shoot me now.

[go_carolina_528]

ok first off, I don't care if we make the tourney this year, if we lose this bad to Clemson it will be 3 straight years losing by 19 points of more. Pathetic. And please stop with the god awful Greg Marshall hirings, we need a real coach, not Greg Marshall
Whats you suggestion then? Marshall is young and energetic and can flat out recruit. Odom has 7+ years to recruit a good team and this years team relys on two transfers that he should have got the first time around.

[CockySpurrier85]

why do I guys just take random shots that serve no purpose? Is that poor coaching or just lack of intelligence?

It is poor coaching IMO Odom doesn't seem to understand how to set screens to get shooters open. He never has and now that he has the talent it seems he never will. We have a 3-guard set where all 3 can shoot well and you're telling me a defense can defend 3 quick guards??? Man we must play some quick defenses or we have an awful coach.

[uscnoklahoma]

Davidson does better with intelligent players than we do with these so called "athletes"......pretty pathetic.

[CoverTwo]

Marshall is 4-2 at Wichita State..but the one team of note that he did play, they got blow out.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

Impressive line at the half from the Golden Child (Downey) 1-7 in FG, he did hit both FT and has 1 assist to 4 turnovers, way to be a big time PG!!

[CockySpurrier85]

It's also his first year there.

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

WE used to actually be a respectable basketball school...... This makes me sick.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

Whats you suggestion then? Marshall is young and energetic and can flat out recruit. Odom has 7+ years to recruit a good team and this years team relys on two transfers that he should have got the first time around.

Marshall could recruit under the radar talent to Winthrop, from the BIG SOUTH. Good grief, already at Wichita St. this year his team has lost to Baylor and Monmouth. That's right, MONMOUTH!!

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

Marshall is 4-2 at Wichita State..but the one team of note that he did play, they got blow out.

Should have stayed at Winthrop where he was loved by the fans....

[evilpoptart]

score?

[go_carolina_528]

Marshall could recruit under the radar talent to Winthrop, from the BIG SOUTH. Good grief, already at Wichita St. this year his team has lost to Baylor and Monmouth. That's right, MONMOUTH!!
Its his first year, Did you expect an SEC Championship Lou's first year here?

[Crazy_Gamecock]

score?

Clemson 43
Fredrick 14
The rest of USC 12

[COCKDIESEL]

Marshall could recruit under the radar talent to Winthrop, from the BIG SOUTH. Good grief, already at Wichita St. this year his team has lost to Baylor and Monmouth. That's right, MONMOUTH!!
Didn't we just squeek by Monmouth a couple years ago in Alaska.

[uscnoklahoma]

So what we have is a shooter with no hustle and a team with no desire to beat Clemson....is it just me or would you rather see our whole team foul out while hustling for the ball than this crap.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

Its his first year, Did you expect an SEC Championship Lou's first year here?

That has nothing to do with basketball. All Marshall has had success with so far in his career is the Big South, he basically made a lateral move in jobs and his team will not amount to much until he gets to conference play, just like Winthrop did when he was coaching them

[Crazy_Gamecock]

Didn't we just squeek by Monmouth a couple years ago in Alaska.

yes, that shows how bad our team was that year

[uscnoklahoma]

Didn't we just squeek by Monmouth a couple years ago in Alaska.

That was when Monmouth was a great team. :thumbsup::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

so when will enough be enough for our AD to finally say "You know what Odom? You've had 7+ years to do something here and while you have took us to one NCAA tournament and 2 NIT titles, that is just not what we want. You had a chance to build something good after that 2nd NIT Title and instead you've let this team go right down the crapper. I am sorry but we have to make a change for the better. Good Luck in all your future endeavors."

[TheGuitarCock]

43-26?

Are you kidding me?

DAMN

[CoverTwo]

Its not happening until after the season.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

so when will enough be enough for our AD to finally say "You know what Odom? You've had 7+ years to do something here and while you have took us to one NCAA tournament and 2 NIT titles, that is just not what we want. You had a chance to build something good after that 2nd NIT Title and instead you've let this team go right down the crapper. I am sorry but we have to make a change for the better. Good Luck in all your future endeavors."

And honestly this all started when we decided to build the Colonial Center and make it a non-basketball venue. We should have just revamped the McGuire Arena likr CU did Littlejohn. The Frank was so much better of a venue for basketball

[CoverTwo]

If we are going to change coaches, we need to get Anthony Grant from VCU. He is a minority coach (which I think we desperately need) and he can flat out coach and recruit..If USCNOklahoma wants a true center, Anthony Grant will get one in here.

[conwaycock]

Why wait till the end of the season. Pull the trigger now. You think any one else would do worse? Let a grad student coach till the end.

[Cockadiddle]

Whats you suggestion then? Marshall is young and energetic and can flat out recruit. Odom has 7+ years to recruit a good team and this years team relys on two transfers that he should have got the first time around.

Great....more Marshall drivel........:thumbs:

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

I remember someone once said "We go above and beyond to get Odom a top of the line arena for his medicore program but we can't get our shit together to get Tanner a new Baseball stadium for his Championship Program!"

[Crazy_Gamecock]

If we are going to change coaches, we need to get Anthony Grant from VCU. He is a minority coach (which I think we desperately need) and he can flat out coach and recruit..If USCNOklahoma wants a true center, Anthony Grant will get one in here.

Outstanding choice, absolute great coaching pedigree and with the amount of minority players in D1 now you need someone that can relate to them. Unless you're Roy Williams or Coach K

[brat]

OK, left side say... War, right side say...Chest !!!

War !!!...

Chest !!!...

War !!!...

Chest !!!...

War !!!...

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Honestly that's what is helping Clemson. Oliver Purnell is a good coach but he is also an African American and African American players (who dominate basketball for the most part) can relate to him easier than they can someone like Dave Odom.

[go_carolina_528]

If we are going to change coaches, we need to get Anthony Grant from VCU. He is a minority coach (which I think we desperately need) and he can flat out coach and recruit..If USCNOklahoma wants a true center, Anthony Grant will get one in here.
Anthony Grant would also be a great hire.

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

And honestly this all started when we decided to build the Colonial Center and make it a non-basketball venue. We should have just revamped the McGuire Arena likr CU did Littlejohn. The Frank was so much better of a venue for basketball

I was at the Duke game @ Littlejohn last year, and that place is very nice and proportional. It will never look like a sea of open seats at LJ. We should have done the same with McGuire Arena.

[go_carolina_528]

Game is back on. Downey misses another layup and Clemson just dunk on us

[go_carolina_528]

47-29 Clemson

[samspur2]

we suck

[CoverTwo]

Number 1 rule of transition defense.

STOP THE BALL.

[go_carolina_528]

I was at the Duke game @ Littlejohn last year, and that place is very nice and proportional. It will never look like a sea of open seats at LJ. We should have done the same with McGuire Arena.
I think it would be good if we reserved the CC for big events (like the UF and UK games) and use McGuire Arena for smaller games (after renovations of course).
I attended a Columbia Inferno game at McGuire Arena and it needs major renovations. The seats are in real bad shape.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

we sucknow as much as I am being derogative, I wouldn't say we suck by any means, we are not playing good basketball and Clemson is just that much better than us. By the time we hit SEC play our record will look like it should

[uscnoklahoma]

I actually thought Arkansas was going to snatch Grant up last year but they didn't. I actually think he would be a good hire....of course right now I think the fry guy at the McDonald's on Huger street would be an upgrade over what we have now.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

wait till the fans start their chant.....

"JUST LIKE FOOTBALL!" clap clap clapclapclap

[USCocks3]

It's almost baseball season!! Anyone wanna drink to that?!?!?

[uscnoklahoma]

It's almost baseball season!! Anyone wanna drink to that?!?!?

Hell yeah now you're talking.....think Tanner can coach our 3 major sports :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

It's almost baseball season!! Anyone wanna drink to that?!?!?

We can always count on them to be winners and not a bunch of losers.

[WeHailTheeCarolina]

Hell yeah now you're talking.....think Tanner can coach our 3 major sports :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I think Spurrier and Tanner should team up to coach the bball team... We could be the SPURTANS! WE ARE... SPURTA! hahaha

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

This basketball team shouldn't be called The Gamecocks.....cause there is nothing Game about this team.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

that was a nice move by Archie

[Crazy_Gamecock]

these refs are awful

[CoverTwo]

Hey look a 6-0 run and we are down 12.

[go_carolina_528]

57-45! Wohoo, we are closing the gap!

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

yeah Archie was in the same position as the guy in the first half for Clemson who jumped into Downey and got the charge

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

what the hell, Muldrow gets mugged and nothing is called.

[uscnoklahoma]

Hey we have a chance....Clemson's team might foul out.

[uscnoklahoma]

Hey those refs look pretty good right now.

[CoverTwo]

Here we come.

Spread the floor and let Downey operate.

[go_carolina_528]

60-49, Carolina ball

[eklypised]

LETS FUKIN GO COCKS....DAMMIT COME BACK

[CoverTwo]

I like our team. I think we have a ton of potential but things such as zorro defense (coughZAMcough) and bone headed turnovers (Downey) are going to kill us.

[CoverTwo]

These refs are horrendous.

[go_carolina_528]

We suck at rebounding

[go_carolina_528]

Zam with bad shot selection there

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

our guys have no hustle for loose balls though. I've seen several balls going out of bounds on our guys and our guys don't even try to go get them.

[go_carolina_528]

FREDRICK WITH A LAYUP!!! 9 point game

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

its amazing how one minute Downey can make a crazy layup and then miss an easy one.

[uscnoklahoma]

It's amazing how we haven't had an inside presence in freaking years.

[go_carolina_528]

WAY TO GO ODOM! Technical Foul, They make both shots and now they get the ball back

[uscnoklahoma]

Dave with the TF. Bout time he showed some emotion....guess he knows his ass is toast at the end of the year.

[uscnoklahoma]

Hey they are hustling but I am afraid it is too late!

[Forkcock]

I love how we start hustling when the game is out of reach.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

what can we do? We are playing good D, Clemson just gets all the bounces on that damn rim.

[CoverTwo]

If you're going to foul the guy AT LEAST MAKE SURE HE DOESNT GET THE SHOT UP! DAMN.

[jaytda4th]

feels like it would take a miracle to win this..

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

maybe I don't understand basketball that well but why is it when our guy has position underneath the rim and the Clemson guy jumps into him for a lay up then that is a foul on us?

Can Downey make a freaking layup?

[jaytda4th]

we can't play defense worth a damn.

[go_carolina_528]

10 point game with 4 minutes left

[scfan2001]

I love how we start hustling when the game is out of reach.

Maybe because the guys Clemson has in now aren't as good and they can actually do something against them.

[jaytda4th]

did the players just read my post? lol

[go_carolina_528]

8 point game!!

[CoverTwo]

Zam with 26.

[uscnoklahoma]

maybe I don't understand basketball that well but why is it when our guy has position underneath the rim and the Clemson guy jumps into him for a lay up then that is a foul on us?

That happens every game. Always has and always will. NBA, NCAA, High School...etc.

[jaytda4th]

i think we can all agree we live and die by the 3.. we started the game bad.. and when we do that it takes a lot for us to recover.

[cack]

score ... time??

[Forkcock]

When we play with intensity, we comptete.

[CoverTwo]

Holmes and Muldrow need to learn to rotate on defense..That is what killed us in this game

[go_carolina_528]

Downey need to make this free throw

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

score ... time??
75-67 Bad guys...not sure about time...it under 3 1/2 mins.

[morgan n' 7]

score ... time?? 75- 67 CU. Downey at the line. Not sure on time. Less than 4 min maybe?

[go_carolina_528]

75-67 i think, not sure how much time is left, think it is 2:44

[jaytda4th]

i love how downey looks up at the score at every timeout to see what it is.. and if it's close he starts clapping and if it's bad he just frowns.

I never think about how they probably don't knwo what the score is.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

75-67 i think, not sure how much time is left, think it is 2:44

We'll get it right eventually hahahaha!

[go_carolina_528]

Misses the free throw

[jaytda4th]

it's like we are allergic to the ball soemtimes

[jaytda4th]

game.. over.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

that's the ball game there, got sloppy and just shot ourselves in the head and not the foot.

[uscnoklahoma]

The fat lady has sung....we lose to Clemson in yet another sport.

[COCKDIESEL]

As they would say on NBA Jams:

Nail in the Coffin

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

Clemson fans chanting "Wait Till Next Year"

[uscnoklahoma]

I just heard that Hymen is signing D.O to a 10 year contract extension...can any of you confirm this?

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

now chanting "Just Like Football"

[morgan n' 7]

Why did Fredrick pass up a wide open three!!!? Oh, that hurt.

[roosterrizk1]

Will Hyman give Dave another extension after this game ....:roll:

[go_carolina_528]

and the just like football chant starts

[usc1]

I HATE CLEMSON

[jaytda4th]

why can't we just get a good big man.. i mean this has to be contributed to the coaches. All Dave Odom has ever done is lucked out having Tim Duncan. I could have a winning season coaching with Duncan.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

They obviously hate us more cause they beat us more.

[eklypised]

I REALLY CANT TAKE THIS SHIT ANYMORE..

Some of our fans don't want a big man.....:-?:roll:

[uscnoklahoma]

That cause Clemson don't mean crap to us....we play for the SEC EAST baby :woo::woo::rotfl::rotfl:

[morgan n' 7]

Sorry, haven't read through the whole thread. Still can't bash the coach, though. Also, please PM me if you have a problem.

[The Gamecock Outlaw]

and its over....4th straight loss to Clemson in basketball....Let's give him a life time contract!

[usc90grad]

final score?

[Scott88]

final score?

84-75

Because the premier big men in the country go to UNC, DUKE, FLORIDA, KANSAS, and UCLA..Unless you have a coach that isnt scared to recruit against these programs (which Dave Odom is), you are not going to get one.

Also you need big men that fit your system..Dave wants to play uptempo and fast break basketball..A big 7'0 280 oaf is going to do a lot more bad than good because they usually cant run the floor and they will suddenly become winded and cant get back on defense..We need a physical 6'9 - 6'10 guy that can bang around in the lower block and is also able to run in transition..Rolando Howell is a perfect example of a player we need.

There are 2 overrated things in college basketball:

1. a backup pg
2. a 7'0 center

[usc90grad]

84-75

Thanks. I haven't followed the basketball team this year and doesn't appear I'm missing much.

You're right....why would you want a 7 foot guy playing center when there are so many advantages to playing a 6 ft 5 guy. :thumbsup:

You're totally missing the point but whatever.

[uscnoklahoma]

Apparently you're about the only one who doesn't see our weakness in needing a rebounder, i.e a solid big center...oh and by the way you're dead wrong about only Kansas, Duke, etc getting big men...but whatever.

[Scott88]

I've read some ridiculous posts on this board, but that damn near takes the cake. Why would a player be disadvantaged because he's 7' if he's a talented player. A back-up PG is very important for any team. PG play is so crucial at the college level.

Since when has odom been a transition guy. He is a half court and play defense guy. He is playing a little more transition this year because our personel dictates we need to. BTW Rolando wasn't exactly and all sec performer when he was here.

[Scott88]

Thanks. I haven't followed the basketball team this year and doesn't appear I'm missing much.

They're a much improved team. Two of the losses have been very tough losses. Losing by two to NC State when we had the lead the majority of the game sucked. Then they lost by one point to George Mason. Obviously, the Southern Cal game didn't go too well. This game today was our worst performance of the season overall. We still had a chance to pull even down the stretch if we could have tightened it down on D a bit more.

[uscnoklahoma]

You guys are wasting your time arguing.....we are a fast break Memphis style team and we have no need for a big guy. :thumbsup::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Cover two....do you seriously believe what you post....seriously?

[U-Dub Gamecock]

Clemson has their best team possibly in 20+ years.. We just got down double-digits so quickly.. we really had little chance to come back.. Last year's team would have gotten beat by 35+.. this team is young.. and will continue to improve..

Give it some time..

[bgallup]

I hope we arnt in for another long year.

[usc90grad]

Is Odom's house on the market yet?

Yeah, I expect this team to fight for a .500 record in SEC play. They're taking some tough losses in out of conference play, but they will really benefit from these games later in the season.

[Crazy_Gamecock]

don't worry, we'll be 9-5 by the time we get to SEC play. with a possibility of being 10-4

[uscnoklahoma]

Give it some time....are you serious?

[Scott88]

If we're going to get rid of Odom, Hyman needs to jump all over Anthony Grant at VCU before somebody else does.
