If this game were in Rupp Arena, I would be inclined to pick the Wildcats as their 3 point shooting could rain down. As it is at Colonial Life, I don't see how KY can stop the inside game.

 

[DaBball]

Kentucky not playing smart early and dealing with SC pressure well...SC off to a big lead early.

 

[Jmsdawg]

Watching Kentucky South Carolina, much impressed by the Carolina Fan Base, that arena is packed! Good for WBB.

 

[DaBball]

Howard is not a good matchup for Beal. She has all eight points.

 

[DaBball]

Boston has been very impressive early, and Kentucky doesn't have an answer.

Chassity Patterson is a hustler.

SC looks good. Dawn's wearing some interesting glasses today too.

kentucky is getting abused defensively.

SC doing a great job so far.

Patterson has been a wonderful addition. Shame the rest of the team can't help Howard out.

 

[Plebe]

I've suspected all season long that Kentucky was overranked. They barely escaped from Charlottesville and Berkeley with wins, and the Louisville team they played close has been mercurial, to say the least.

They're definitely short a couple of pieces. Howard and Patterson are very good though. Getting Edwards should be big for them next year, and Hunt.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Good news for Kentucky is the rest of the SEC is easier than SC


Kentucky should be much improved next year. Patterson, Howard, Edwards, Hunt will be a nice group. I think the current group competes hard but are certainly limited to what they can do.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

South Carolina is a team that relies heavily on four freshmen. They are going to be a great team for the next four years at least. They are very impressive.

Boston is a star already, and proves it every game she plays.

 

[eebmg]

Amihere was very good off the bench. Glad we get to play SC regularly.

 

[SCGamecock]

Our freshmen scored 58 points last night. Sheesh.

SC's defense gets all of the credit, but I think what makes this SC team very dangerous is the fact that any given night we have 4-6 players in double figures and it's almost never the same 4-6 players.

 

[jumpstart]

I might argue that the South Carolina bench would be a top SEC team by itself. You have Amihere, Henderson Saxton, Grissett and add Thompson with her 3 point ability and that is still a better group than most of the SEC.
