[JDuro]

I'm pretty excited to see some basketball.

Same. Particularly looking fwd tonight to seeing Raven and Kierra getting minutes.

Does she have on a Yale shirt while on a SC visit

Does she have on a Yale shirt while on a SC visit

She does, indeed. Thought that was kinda....odd, too.

 

[Cockygirl]

It is odd but I don’t think it’s a Yale supported t shirt. A lot of the teen clothing stores sell shirts like that (Hollister, Aeropostale, etc). Still could have chosen a different shirt though!

 

[SCGamecock]

Basketball tonight!

 

[ConwayGmck]

Bree Hall will not dress out for the game tonight, I'm hearing. She has an illness of something......

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Beal and Cooke look like they had good off-season conditioning.

Beal's shot looking faster and more decisive.

Feagin is fast.

Nice second segment for Raven but I'm going to be nervous about that knee.

 

[visitingcock]

10 players got 1st quarter minutes

 

[Gamecockfan77]

55-12 at half.

Man, Ashlyn Watkins has good hands.

I still miss Rivers talent but Cooper looks more comfortable than Saniya ever did.

The ceiling on this team is tremendous.

Shooting is a question. Playing a little sloppy.

 

[TC22]

If Raven Johnson can stay healthy we have our PG. By the end of the year we may be better than last year.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

I had completely forgotten that SCar didn't win the SECT last year. You could have won money off me.

Dawn is right. Everyone looks better.

I think Cardoso is particularly noticeable.

 

[visitingcock]

Feagin ain’t a freshman anymore!

 

[SCspur]

Feagin had 15 points 6 rebounds in about 14 minutes! It’s really scary hours for everyone else!

SCARY HOURS.

And Watkins. And Johnson. Whew.

Everybody was impressive tonight, but I think it’s the contributions from those 3 that’ll put this team in frightening territory.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Amihere looked really together too.

 

[Cockygirl]

Bottom line everyone looked better and the freshmen are very promising!!!

South Carolina beats East Tennessee State 101-31 to open their season. They next travel to Maryland.

Six Gamecocks finished in double digits for the game: Zia Cooke led the way with 17 pts in 19 minutes on 6-12 shooting, with 2 steals. Sania Feagin added 15 pts in 19 minutes off the bench, on 7-9 shooting, with 6 rebounds. Aliyah Boston added 11 pts on 3-5 shooting, on 20 minutes, with 11 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Victaria Saxton also added 11 pts in 16 minutes on just 1-3 shooting, but also 9-10 at the free throw line. She also had 5 boards. Kamilla Cardoso scored 11 pts as well on 5-6 shooting in 21 minutes, with 5 rebounds, 1 block and 1 steal. Freshman Ashlyn Watkins scored 11 pts too in 18 minutes, on 5-7 shooting, with 8 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

Red-shirt Freshman PG Raven Johnson had her first game action coming back from her ACL injury that derailed her season last year. She scored 9 pts on 4-10 shooting in 17 minutes, with a team-leading 4 assists and 4 steals.

Altogether the Gamecocks totaled 9 blocks, 13 steals, 20 assists, 56 rebounds, and shot 53% from the field.....

THEY TRIED TO SAY WE DON’T HAVE A PG!!!

 

[shiverz45]

A healthy Raven is going to be scary for your favorite point guard America.

 

[shiverz45]

THEY TRIED TO SAY WE DON’T HAVE A PG!!!

I think it was wishful thinking. A healthy Raven/Fletcher is going to be bad for the rest of the country.

[JDuro]

THEY TRIED TO SAY WE DON’T HAVE A PG!!!

Harped on it all season in 2017, particularly on ESPN’s Selection Monday show heading into the tourney. I think we’re in good hands with Raven, Fletcher, and LA. LA looks more comfortable than she did last year. Raven and Kierra will get better as the season goes along.

Love the distribution of minutes:

Looking forward to watching this matchup. Should be very entertaining.
