Maine @ #3 South Carolina

The Black Bears continue their grueling non-conference schedule tonight down in Columbia. Game is on SEC Network.

The Black Bears will be hibernating by the end of the first quarter. Poor St. Peter's; the Peahens got killed by Hampton earlier tonight.

It was tough to watch but when you have all those freshmen playing Top 10 teams.....I'm just looking for baby steps. Liked what I saw from a couple of them off the bench.

They kept their composure pretty well, but they are not a very quick team.

An incredibly tough early schedule to navigate for such a young team - but they seem to have navigated it without getting 'defeated'. Time for some easier games so they can feel some success.

I agree about the quickness factor although it seems Baron wants to develop a very methodical team on offense. He played the Croatians in the second half and that seemed to spark them and made them a bit more mobile around the paint.

They definitely won't see anything like USC or MSU on their remaining schedule. Looks like games vs. Tulane, Chattanooga & Clemson plus a possible match-up with Miami will be the most challenging, but nothing close to those 2!

Never met anyone from Maine who was very quick.

I bet if a lobster latched onto their big toe they would move awfully fast!

MaineJeff, Clemson won't be much of a challenge. They are our archrival and I hope Dawn shows no mercy when we play them next month.
