Gamecocks 2025-2026 Season

On me personally? No

Against my high school team? Yeah. So what? We beat them by 20.

How many dunks per year happen in Wbb? Five, maybe? That's ten point per year against All teams. It's nothing.

Dunks are coming. Never as many as the guys. but they are coming. You're starting to see more of the precursor of an air game with the number of dramatic flying blocks that we see.

Well, we got to see all the backups together in one platoon for a significant time in the third and again in the 4th quarters. It wasn’t pretty . Maddy did not lead them to play as a team and all of them seemed to be playing for themselves. The freshmen couldn’t hit a barn from 3,

Tac played well with a double double but it was basically a high school team,

Now, bring on @triaddukefan

Can any of y'all contact Coach Staley and tell her to take it easy on us? In return I'll promise to take a vacation in your state, eat two SC peaches, and further contribute to your states economy

I'm going to guess you never had anyone dunk on you.

Good enough to play against guys who can, not good enough to play against guys who will. Had a couple try it and get fouled. Whoops. Hit your free throws.

Going to the country?

the nagging question for the highest level games will be depth and maybe defensive stoppers. Fudd/Strong, Betts, Booker, the LSU and OU guards.

By the time it is necessary, Okut might be ready to guard Strong as well as anyone could reasonably expect. Fudd killed us last year, but she was the complement to PB. Hoping it will be different this year, when she is Batman, not Robin.

Think we'll see about Betts this weekend. I think Okut is prepared to face a true center, but I have not watched this UCLA team yet. Last year, I thought Betts would get hers, but we would be otherwise ready. A similar faceplant would be very concerning.

We'll beat Texas.

Tough to say anything about LSU until they face someone with a pulse, but I think MiLaysia and Flau'jae are the scariest backcourt in the sport.

I think Oklahoma is a styles make fights advantage. Last year, they were a borderline top ten team for 30 pre-tournament games, and "I thought they were supposed to be good?" for two against us.

Do you really think Okot is better than Kamilla?

If she can get two years in Dawn’s system, I could see her catching up or, maybe, surpassing Kamilla. She still looks raw to me and needs to refine her go-to shots. This week against Betts or the Texas Bigs will tell me a lot.

We will know by Monday, but I think it is possible.

I'd give Kamilla the edge in post moves, Okut in hands and quickness. Still deciding about the rest.

Well done with the Presidents of the United States of America reference. 😂

For you, my dear friend?















Absolutely not. 😂

That being said, Duke usually plays above expectations versus us so I’m expecting a tight game.

Gee, I want to play Queens next year. Does SC have a home and home with them? Other than fattening the scoring averages what is gained out of playing a 350ish ranker?

I think Dawn likes to support the smaller SC schools, esp. the HBCUs: hence the games against Winthrop and Queens this week.
