Gamecocks 2025-2026 Season

I'm not really sure what you mean by "hung with them early". Watching the game, I didn't get the sense that Tennessee ever posed a serious threat (or any threat at all, really). To me, the game was over by halftime based on the way that they played. They didn't compete.
The score was 27-24 early in the 2nd quarter, that’s hanging with a team early. South Carolina obliterated them the rest of the way. Not sure why you’re nitpicking something irrelevant when I’m giving major props to SC and agreeing with you.

If by "hanging with a team early" you mean "firing up three-pointers in an undisciplined way and getting lucky that a few of them fell", then sure.

This was never a contest. Your team got stomped and your team's coach is behaving like more of a teenager than some of her teenaged players.
 
I saw someone say they didn’t expect the LSU game to be within 15 points and I legitimately do not know which way they meant.
I believe SC will beat LSU by 10-15 points. I also wouldn't be surprised if it was more though

LSU has gotten beaten down badly in all their “big games” this season much like TN. I’ll be shocked if this is close (less than 20 points). Williams is good but SC has the defenders to shut her down and LSUs overhyped freshmen class won’t make up for Flaujaes erratic play

LSU will be jacked up for that game, for many reasons. They're going to want to get out and run and get the crowd into it early. But if they aren't able to control the tempo (or the boards) and if we're able to get the ball inside repeatedly, I'm not sure how they win.

A path to victory for them heavily features Mikaylah Williams and Jada Richard. A path to another SEC loss involves too much Flau'jae Johnson and too much MiLaysia Fulwiley. Guess what we're more likely to see on Saturday.

LSU has a "main character syndrome" issue. The wrong people will be shooting and doing so often.

Genuinely do not know what to expect.

Blowout either way, close game, I do not know.

At LSU, Tigers coming off a loss, so much pent up frustration in BR to break streak, SCar's injuries and evolving lineups.

The personal motivations of FJ and .

My lean is toward a LSU win. USC has just too much played less than stellar on the road. There's the OU and TAMU games recently but even games against UF and UGA they played somewhat off, and with a team like LSU and that loud hornets nest crowd, well I'm not feeling all that confident.

You must have mixed them up with someone else. They lost on a buzzer beater to a full strength Kentucky team and a close loss at #5 Vanderbilt. They haven’t been beaten down badly by anyone this year. They’ve won every other game including a victory over Texas.

I agree with this, though I think it’s kind of a toss up. South Carolina is better on paper but LSU will come out swinging. I think Flaujae and Fulwiley are the wildcards. If both play well I see LSU winning, but if one of them doesn’t it’s advantage SC. PMAC will be rocking and I could see this game drawing more viewers than any other in the regular season.
 
Sellout crowd and the No. 3 team that they have lost to 17 straight times including all 5 with Mulkey at the helm. I would have to lean to an LSU win, and the analytics seems to back that up. I would not be shocked with a South Carolina win... but I would be surprised. Too much to overcome IMO.

Right now I just trust J&J and the much more than I do Fulwiley and Flau'jae. Obviously LSU has the talent to compete against anyone, but my gut tells me Williams will play well but won't get enough touches and there will be stretches of the game where LSU will go to one on one ball and what would be a tight game, will turn into a slow methodical beat down over 4 quarters.

If we win impressively at LSU, i will adjust my opinion of the team’s ceiling. I’ve already said we’re good enough to win it all, but our most impressive games have all come at home. Need to see a great performance on the road.

LSU crowd will be as hyped as they were for Texas if not more, and they led that one the whole way.

I’m not convinced. SC seems very mental for lsu in a lot of ways. They always find ways to choke when it matters most

You know Flaujae and Lay gonna end up turning the game for lsu (in the wrong way)
 
Texas lost to Vandy tonight… Harmon played just 18 minutes… injury? Hope not… but they are a different team without her.

According to SEC Now, Schaefer was asked postgame why Harmon was “benched” and he corrected the reporter that she was “substituted”. So I guess she’s alright.

Schaefer also went on a long, Caldwell-esque rant on his team.

Second time he’s done that. Kind of curious what would happen if she had another year.

Of course they will--and I hope they do. 🫣

I just don't want to see Mikaylah Williams get going.

Think that one probably comes down to which Fulwiley shows up and if she scores 7 points or 22.
Got the 6 point version today.

I hope Fulwiley is on a good path. She hasn’t ever really seemed happy in college to me. Obviously wildly talented.
