looking forward to this matchup...Go cocks

Look out for JaKarr Sampson:

On the emergence of JaKarr Sampson:

“JaKarr has slowed his game down some and found a comfort level that’s allowed him to be very productive. It’s the old Coach Wooden adage ‘be quick but don’t hurry.’ Earlier in the season he was in a hurry, but now he’s playing the game with a better pace and as a result he’s seeing things with more clarity and using better judgment on the court.”

On Sampson: A long, athletic, slashing scorer ... a noted shot-blocker and prolific offensive and defensive rebounder ... was rated as high as the No. 11 player at his position and the No. 31 overall prospect originally in the Class of 2011 ... dynamic on-court game only eclipsed by his buoyant personality.

GO COCKS!!!

they have some ridiculous athletes

This will be the first game this season that Chatkevicious will be able to play in right? Will be interesting to see what he brings to the court. I have been pretty impressed with both Carrera's and Kacinas' efforts thus far.....

I mean, they went 13-19, 6-12 (Big East) last year.

It's a tough game, but it is very winnable.

Aaannd How well did Elon do last year?!

St. Johns is a good team with a lot of talent. I'll be happy if we hang within 10

Just keep telling everyone...they may have not had that great a record, but they played in the nation's best basketball conference, the Big East.

I'd love to win, but if the team just gives full effort and puts up a good fight and keeps it competitive, I'll be happy.

Just don't get embarassed, and maybe we can steal some players out of New York.

sc455 · 11-29-2012, 05:40 PM

this game will tell us much about our new coach. he needs to keep this team close..

Travelin · 11-29-2012, 05:45 PM

Bold prediction:

USC 71

St. John's 70

One sign of the turnaround for our team so far this season (from that article):

"USC is averaging 76.3 points per game, fifth-best in the Southeastern Conference through five games, outscoring opponents by an average of seven points per game. Active on offense, the Gamecocks have made an SEC-best 103 free throws so far this season, connecting on a 77.4 percent clip from the charity stripe."

If we show we can at least be competetive with STJ's athletes, I think we're in for a relatively good season. And I'm really excited to see what Chatkevicius brings to the table as well.

Go Cocks!!!

Yes, this will be his first game. IMO he is still very much a project and won't be much of an impact in the near future.

I agree...granted, I've only seen him on the court once. That was during the exhibition against Kentucky Wesleyan. But, I came away from it with two notes.

1. The guy is HUGE.
2. The guy looked LOST.

CurryStorm · 11-29-2012, 07:22 PM

Big game. Already got my Lo Mein all duck and hot sauced up and ready for some basketball.

eaglegolf018 · 11-29-2012, 07:44 PM

Tough game. This is the game where we see where we are. Don't turn the ball over, stay out of foul trouble.

Spurrier_Superior_One · 11-29-2012, 08:38 PM

Hopefully Bruce gets some floor time.

careyhhi · 11-29-2012, 08:42 PM

Any body have a link for the game?

sodacitynate · 11-29-2012, 08:44 PM

I hear Mr. Ellington might play this evening.
