Gamecock game with Ole Miss has been postponed due to COVID issues.

 

[visitingcock]

So, the cancellation ends the month/year on a fizzle for the Gamecocks. One blowout of a weak team. One solid win over a middling team. One ugly loss to a good team.

goodbye 2020. Let’s hope we get to play January 2021.

I agree. Looks like her name is Mary Ashley Groot. She had 23 and Watkins had 15. Fulwiley had 33.

I saw that Cardinal Newman was nationally ranked and that came as a surprise. Getting away from Fulwilely and Keenan was pretty impressive, though maybe Keenan isn't quite as strong this year.

I missed that Skyla Tuthill had moved to Columbia to play for Cardinal Newman. She's a likely Top 100 or better in (I think) the 2024 class.

Speaking of the instate '24 class:

BTW, Mary Ashley is now ranked 16th for 2023 by ASGR! Hope Cardinal Newman gets to play some games in January.

Unrelated - I don’t think we need monthly threads. Maybe just do one annually and the OP edit the title of this thread for the ‘20-‘21 season. Just my two cents.

Damn! something told me not to reopen this thread. Good luck to the Gamecock Players and staff.
Stay safe everyone.

“The statue itself is approximately life-sized compared to Wilson’s 6-foot-5 frame and stands atop an angled plinth. On the front of the plinth is an image of Wilson holding the Naismith Trophy, given to the nation’s top collegiate player. Below that is a quote of her explaining her signature pearls.

“When I was 10 or 11, my grandma gave me my first set of pearls. She told me, ‘A pretty girl always wears pearls.’ I haven’t let them go since,” the inscription reads.

Another side of the plinth simply reads “A’ja Wilson, University of South Carolina, 2015-2018,” and a third side lists her career accomplishments.”

Well, I didn’t do a January thread - but here you go bumping December ?

Brea Beal is now shooting 43% from three.

I don't know why you would necessarily compare Bueckers and Beal's three point shooting, but I just happened to look at both lines today.

Bueckers 11/22 and Beal 10/23.

Beal is actually now third on the team in 3pt percentage behind Cooke 19/40 (47.5%) and Henderson 11/25 (44%). Boston is 6/18 (33.3%).

Starters Last 5 (vs SEC)

Boston 17.6, 12.8 reb, 4 bk, 1.4 ast .537/.444/.750

Henderson 14.0, 7.2 ast, 6.4 reb, 2.6 a/to .426/.444/.875

Cooke 13.8, 2.8 reb, 2.6 ast .400/.273/.778

Saxton 12.2, 5.2 reb 1 bk .628 / --- / .368

Beal 10.6, 4.8 reb .538/.429/.625


Getting solid minutes from Amihere, Littleton, and Grissette.

Cooke has to be better but that's a good formula.

Eye popping numbers for sure. If we can get Zia back to around 16-17 ppg consistently this team will be hard to beat. Henderson is playing herself into First Team All SEC & Nancy Lieberman Award Finalist.

Amihere has sooo much athletic ability. However, she has appeared (to me) to be wild and out of control. I would love to see down get her to settle down and play with more control. Maybe it's just my erroneous impression.

Raven Johnson staking her claim as best player in the nation. Second Triple-Double of the year, her team is 14-0 and she has a HS record of 105-4(!!!!). She’s also 101-0 in the State of Georgia (!!!!!!). Westlake girls has won 3 straight state championships and without a doubt should win a 4th. There isn’t a better HS girls team in the country.

Well, she also led FBC United U17 last summer. The best girl's AAU team in the country.

Do the chickens have any guard help coming in next season? Asking for my friend.
