Scouting the Dragons
Drexel enters tonight's game with a 4-1 record after winning a pair of games to claim the title at the LIU Turkey Classic. Senior guard Hollie Mershon leads the offense with 19.0 points per game, including 91.7 percent free throw shooting and 44.6 percent accuracy from the field. She is the engine that makes the rest of the offense go as well, averaging 4.0 assists per game, and is second on the team in rebounding with 6.2 per contest. Senior forward Nicki Jones edges Mershon on the glass, puling down 6.6 rebounds per game, doing a bulk of her work on the defensive glass, and adds 9.8 points per game. As a team, Drexel averages 57.6 points on 42.4 percent shooting, including 33.8 percent from 3-point range. The Dragons are out-rebounding their opponents by 1.2 boards per game and have allowed opponents to score 44.6 points per game on 35.3 percent shooting. Head coach Denise Dillon is in her 10th season leading the Dragons and has a 155-126 record in her career.

Does no one care for Womens bball? These girls are pretty good and I would think that there would be a little excitement for them and their season. Aren't they 7-0?

Cocklover · 11-28-2012, 04:19 PM

I get excited about all Gamecock sports and especially this women's basketball team. They are very fun to watch.

Yes, they are 7-0.

FLCock89 · 11-28-2012, 04:22 PM

I'll probably watch the free online feed tonight. Between now and #1 Stanford, our schedule looks like:

vs. Drexel (4-1; no great wins, 2 point loss to St. Joe's)

@ Seton Hall (2-4; losses to Wyoming and South Dakota, and a 72-29 loss to Michigan)

vs. Furman (2-1; plays @ UGA tonight)

So Drexel tonight looks to be the toughest test the women's team should face in getting to 10-0 prior to the huge game in Columbia against Stanford. There will be three new rankings between now and then, so if we did get to 10-0 I could see #24 SC being ranked around 15-18 by then.

I know we've had some top 5 women's teams come to play in CLA in the past, but if it played out that way, it could be the biggest non-conference game that building has hosted. Wonder what kind of promotions they would do for it?

Luke Skycocker · 11-28-2012, 05:13 PM

Go Lady Gamecocks !!! I am down with them.

Cockhornleghorn · 11-28-2012, 08:34 PM

Drexel looks good tonight; we need to get fired up.

FlorenceCock · 11-28-2012, 08:42 PM

These Drexel girls are draining threes on us. They are shooting 60% from the floor.

Seladen · 11-28-2012, 08:43 PM

Drexel not missing at all and we cant make a layup atm.

We also arent running any kind of offense while they are.

FLCock89 · 11-28-2012, 08:55 PM

Drexel shooting 75% from 3 and outrebounding the Gamecocks 19-10 at half. Two of our strongest statistical areas and they've completely turned the tables on us.

Drexel up 36-22 at half.

FlorenceCock · 11-28-2012, 08:55 PM

Our transition defense has sucked this game. I think the girls might just be worn out from all of the travel.

ucan'tlickourcocks · 11-28-2012, 09:09 PM

Just tuned in........ kinda surprised by the score....... almost glad I missed it! Will will come back, and hopefully make a game out of it!

GDub2001 · 11-28-2012, 09:35 PM

50-46 Drexel with 5:30 left.

ucan'tlickourcocks · 11-28-2012, 09:35 PM

One hell of a comeback! Hopefully the Ladies can finish strong!

Love me some Brunner!

eaglegolf018 · 11-28-2012, 09:42 PM

GDub2001 · 11-28-2012, 09:43 PM

Drexel up 53-51 with 3:19 left.

FLCock89 · 11-28-2012, 09:43 PM

Tiffany Mitchell has the potential to be a superstar by the time she is done here

eaglegolf018 · 11-28-2012, 09:47 PM
