2023-24 South Carolina regular season, Part 2

[TC22]

This just came across my twitter feed Might be my favorite wcbb vid so far this year..Love to see the SCar offering support to the opponent. Love Coach Staley's reaction.

This happened right in front of us at the game. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen that happen. If you watch the replay Breezy (#23) actually steps on her hair and pulls it out. It was cool to watch all the girls from both teams surround her to put her hair back on.

 

[TC22]

The longer the season goes on the more rock fights SCar finds itself in.

Our way out of it is let Fulwiley just manufacture layups with pure speed just about every time.

I figure Tennessee might be like that too. And maybe they can score.

Dawn just keeps plugging and playing until she finds the right combo. That’s our super power and what sets us apart.

Well
USC just announced what we knew two months ago. Cardoso is out next two games.

I get alarmed when we don't rebound and while our margin is great and we win overall battle most every night. we have bad segments pretty regularly now.

That and a guard putting 40 on us are my biggest anxieties.

Looks as if FIBA expects Cardoso to play for Team Brazil in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Belem, Brazil next week:

Kamilla Soares ready to bring Brazil back on the World map

BELEM (Brazil) – Kamilla Soares Cardoso hadn't been born yet during the golden age of Brazilian women's basketball, but she's now poised to return her country to where it belongs.

Yes Jake. Carolina fans knew this 2 months ago.

Good News For Zia Cooke. Jordan Canada signed with the Atlanta Dream. One less veteran Guard.

Sparks also acquired Aari McDonald and the 8th pick in the sign and trade giving L.A. 3 picks out of the first 8, so there’ll still be plenty of competition she’ll need to overcome, but Aari definitely a lesser talent than Canada to compete against.

Yes Jake. Carolina fans knew this 2 months ago.

I surmised back in October Cardoso would leave for the Olympic Qualifier Tournament this week as I figured Team Brazil would want last summer’s Americup MVP on its roster. What made it interesting was Cardoso missing the UConn game to play in the OQT. Then Dawn deferring answering definitively.

Interesting. Writer works for Chicago Sun Times Backcourt in the valley of the sun is REALLY crowded. Will impact UConn alumni

Not sure who I direct my gripe to, The ACC, ESPN, SEC... but I HATE that they are playing maybe the most anticipated game of the year (SCAR vs UCONN) on Super Bowl Sunday. Not only that.. but I won't be able to watch it because they scheduled the Duke-Chapel Hill game at the exact same time. Wished they could have played it as a stand alone game on Saturday Night or something.

Sad. You hate to see or hear about a young player being suspended from programs but good that coaches, in this case Coach Staley, are holding their players accountable for their actions.

Second suspension of year I think.

Nope.

What's Jahs violation?

“Conduct detrimental to the team.” That’s all we will ever know.

15,236 last night for Mizzou. Keeps us ahead of Iowa for home attendance which we will probably win again. Short of what was needed for us to catch the alltime home attendance record.

Iowa still in it to win the alltime total attendance record. Those Big Ten ga and are showing up For the CC Roadshow!

I will not be sorry to see Iowa return to their natural state.

Their best seasons All Time at Massey are:

Clark SR Year
Clark JR Year
Clark SO Year
Clark FR Year

Didn’t they make a pre-Clark Elite 8 run with POTYGustafson in 2019 that would (presently) rank as their second best of recent times?

Yes they did. Ran into a buzzsaw in eventual national champion Baylor. Prior to Clark, Bluder was among the most underrated coaches in the country IMO. Iowa has been a successful program for a long time.

They also went to the F4 under CVS in the early 90s.

That's their best non-Clark season. Massey would have that 2019 team 15th in the country this year.

FWIW, this year's 8.99 is good enough to win a championship, though not usually good enough to be the best team. Our 2017 team was 8.91 and last year's LSU was 9.07

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Nope.

Dawn "gave her a few days off" earlier in year.
