The Baylor v SC match up is a season or two too late. I would have liked to see them play when they had Coates, Davis, Gray, and Wilson. Even last year too with just Wilson.

Still, it should be a good game.

My thoughts exactly!

Facing McCowan will be good practice before they face Kalani 2 or 3 times coming after that game.

Agree with your assessment...a year or two late. One could almost say the same for these following games; Miss St @ Texas, Missouri @ WV and Tenn @ Ok St. These four games may go to the Big12...a down year for the SEC?

Tennessee vs Oklahoma State I can't wait.

Excited about the Baylor v. SC matchup. It should be a great contest.

Texas v Mississippi St should be good as well.

I'm really curious to see how SC does this year without Wilson. 6 months ago I was pretty "down" on them thinking they weren't a top 10 team, and maybe a marginal top 15 team, but there have been so many changes with transfers and what not, and there are other teams who lost a lot too... I think I may have been "too hard" on them. Given what SC lost/gains compared to everyone else, where do most fans think SC stands at this point?

I think a lot depends on how well Cooper meshes with Henderson and Harris, and how the post players improve (Grisset, Harrigan, and Jennings)...

In all honesty I think this years squad could be very good. I don’t want to set the bar to high but Guard play will now be a strength versus last year. I expect a faster pace of play with some pressure. Post play will be adequate enough to handle most teams, how they handle elite teams will be the question.

Dawn thinks the ceiling for this squad is high and judging by our non-conference schedule she wants to test this team a lot.

We will play Maryland, Purdue, Baylor, UCONN, and possibly Oregon St, Western Kentucky, Drake, and Gonzaga in the new Vancouver tournament.

Remains to be seen how good we will be and how the chemistry comes together but I have confidence they’ll get it right.
 
SC will have a new look next season.. fortunately for us, we won’t face too many elite front courts next season. Baylor will be a huge test and so will Mississippi State, but outside of those two I’m pretty confident that SC’s front court can match up. On the flip side, our backcourt will be as good as or better than just about every team we play next season. We go two deep at every position 1-3 and they all are experienced... so if we play to our strengths we’ll be okay. I think SC is a top 10 team next season.

I'm excited to see what SC looks like. As we truly have no idea right now. The BU vs SC contest will be a great test for y'all. Facing a strong front and back court. Still wish we could have met up when Wilson was there!
 
The match up of Baylor @ SC will be a first in regular play. I'm hoping to see these 2 schools schedule more in the future.

I honestly think the Gamecocks will be better, by the end of the season, than they were last year. We were woefully shorthanded in the backcourt without Bianca Cuevas-Moore and Lindsay Spann. I'm expecting a lot more pressing and a lot more running this season. Also, you can expect me to do a lot of harassing of the opposing head coach during the game vs. Baylor.

Or worse. She might wear one of those outfits of hers. I see throwing away one of those jackets as a plus.

I think Morris at the point. Will determine how good Baylor is. She had some good moments as a freshman.

Good thing she has Chloe Jackson to help out along with Juicy who is a Jr SG or PG. However, I expect Morris to come in more confident than she did last year.

Good points. I think they'll be a solid top 10 team, lacking only the superstar to help them climb all the way to the top.

I'm particularly interested in that Baylor/SC game, since they're both on the schedule this season. I think Baylor and Notre Dame will present the biggest challenge this year, especially since both of these games will be on the road. I'm very interested to see exactly what kind of team Mulkey puts on the floor this year. SC & Baylor will be Uber talented this season.
