It would be a shame if they didn't. Mix it in with the usual Darius Rucker and the Marshall Tucker Band šŸ™ƒ

Not much Darius (or country at all), at CLA basketball games. Heā€™s more prominent at the football and baseball games. Maze ft. Frankie Beverly ā€œBefore I Let Goā€, and ā€œSwag Surfinā€™ā€™ā€ more prominent on the CLA DJā€™s hard drive - that is when ā€œSandstormā€ is not playing for the umpteenth time.

Hereā€™s the latest Gamecocks parent podcast interview with Tessaā€™s dad, Jemel Johnson. Safe to say you wonā€™t ever see him on SM talking about getting the bag being the most important thing or devaluing the contribution of his daughterā€™s teammates.

 
South Carolina 76, Alabama 57. Win #26. Seemed closer than the final score, with Bama winning the second and third quarters. Some observations:
  • With Raven under the weather, Maddie had more minutes as the PG, and was solid.
  • Joyce and Madina had double-doublesā€¦ ā€œBig Mamaā€ even chipped in a couple of treys.
  • Tessa couldnā€™t hit the ocean from the low tide markā€¦ it happens.
  • Makeer and Tournebize made contributions off the bench. Dauda played more than usual.
  • Road win against a ranked teamā€¦ weā€™ll take it.
YMMVā€¦ Forever to thee.

Any truth to the rumor that Columbia, our campus and the team have flu sweeping through?

Dawn didn't seem too concerned during yesterday's post-Bama press conference.

That said, they missed a golden opportunity to mitigate the potential spread through the team by taking Raven (and any other affected player) to Tuscaloosa and playing her in the game.

Only Tac and Kitts on the "out" list.

I'm getting emotional this morning. I think it's really starting to hit that we only have a few more home games with Raven. And with Gameday being here, it's just intensifying those feelings. I don't think I've had this reaction since Boston and the freshies left. She may not make the Mount Rushmore of this program but she has undoubtedly left her mark. I kind of feel like a proud dad just thinking of her career here and I'll probably bawl my eyes out on senior night.

Okot with another double 17//20 and 3/3 from 3! She is now a legitimate three point threat!

Oh yeah. Another SEC regular season title.

South Carolina 85, Ole Miss 48ā€¦ another beatdown of a ranked SEC opponent. A share of the SEC regular season championship secured. A few observations:
  • Ten Gamecocks played at least 12 minutes, and all scored.
  • Ole Miss star Cotie McMahon was held to 2 points, both free throws made. 0-9 from the field.
  • Three point shooting sensation Madina Okot made two more treys.
  • Adhel Tac was on crutchesā€¦ out for the year?
  • Dauda had one of her better games off the bench. Dauda and Tournebize will see increased minutes with Tac out.
  • Mizzou up nextā€¦ weā€™ll be a heavy favoriteā€¦senior night, last home game. Our starting five seems ready for the postseasonā€¦ roles defined, reasonably healthy. Canā€™t overlook Kentucky, who is ranked.
YMMVā€¦ Forever to thee.

As our season winds down, gotta say I have been really impressed with how Latson transitioned into our team. Coming in as the reigning national scoring leader, she demonstrated no ego as she became one of our starters. Unselfish on offense, she also became a pretty decent defender, and her hustle was never in question.

Gotta believe Dawn did her homework, and having been a high school teammate of Raven, it appears that coach and player were operating on the same frequency: expectations met for both. Given that cultures on teams can be different, Latson is a textbook example of the portal working for player and team. Hoping the WNBA doesnā€™t overlook her.

If we win it all this season, Latson will have a lot to do with it.
