Gamecocks’ Gauntlet

[WBBTakeover]

I have to say I didn’t expect a blowout win today. That may be our best game of the year. MiLaysia just feeds off the crowd. Great game today.

I agree! I haven't seen this version of the team all year. Texas A&M was close.

No disrespect to UCLA, but y'all aren't touching this team if we're playing like this.

Beers was excellent but Feagin had a very good game against her

SC was clinical.

Gauntlet? What gauntlet? We'll see about LSU, but it kinda looks like the same old thing, South Carolina walking all over the rest of the SEC.

Her old team fared much better against South Carolina in the Tourney last year. Still a double digit loss, but at least it was reasonably respectable.

LSU is like the 5th/6th best SEC team but this is the hardest part of their schedule so if they go undefeated during this stretch they’ll be undefeated by end of conference play

That old team was loaded and well coached.

The goal is to win all five not four of five.

Wouldn't necessarily call it a gauntlet but certainly getting through unscathed would go a long way towards the SEC.

I think getting through unscathed (and barely scored upon) is looking quite likely.

Well, the runways are cleared. But not the questions.

Will the 22 hour delay keep the 18,000 ticket holders away?

Will last years 1.5 million tv viewers be put off by the weird 5:00 EST tipoff time?

Will the refs melt their whistles calling fouls early in the game?

Will Ashlynn and Flaujae’s brother sit near each other? How many cops between them!

Can the Bayou Bengals break their 17 game losing streak to the ‘Cocks? Can they stop the longest SEC conference winning streak ever? Can they stop the home court winning streak at 68? Can they play without pulling hair.

Will the last two MCAA champs play a clean game without tempers erupting?

Can Kym dress conservatively?

Can the Gamecocks win the fourth game off the gauntlet?

weird starts. LSU won the rebounding battle by 11, SCar won the blocked shots battle by 9.

4-0.

One game to go. On Monday!

SC on ball defense was great. That's about as bad as you could possibly play and you still win comfortably. LSU couldn't shoot straight and D-W, FJ, and MW were turnover machines.

I hadn't realized there were so many blocks. Blocks plus turnovers overcame the rebound deficit.

Easy to see now why you crush people when you shoot better and make more than 2 threes.

Rock fight, especially from behind the arc. Good old fashioned SEC basketball!

It was an intense game and a lot of fun.

I forgot to mention, it was apparently sponsored by General Mills' Lucky Charms.
