South Carolina (1) @ Arkansas (25) - 2/06/20

[eebmg]

With the way she can score, rebound, and block shots, I would say she’s one of the better post players we’ve seen in years, up there with Griner, Stewart, and Willson, she’s also been super consistent, I can see her as a number 1 pick down the line if she keeps this up.

I would say Boston could go top 3 in this years draft if she was allowed.

What's your deal? It really kills you to admit someone else was right and you were wrong huh?

I was worried about Arkansas for reasons. Some of it was an exaggeration for effect. Other parts were legit.

I was trying to move past talking about this any more because it's just not that interesting to me, not because it upsets me that my favorite team won easily.

I guess the humor didn't come through In prior attempts. I'm sorry about that. I was not attacking you.

It's cool. I appreciate what you've said. I'm sorry as well. I should've just let it go sooner.

A lot of Gamecock fans were worried about this game - sandwiched in between 2 bigger games, far from home, inclimate weather, etc. Also, as a fan base, we've been Charlie Brown playing football with Lucy, A LOT, through the years.

I get it. I was concerned about the Tennessee game tonight too. I’m a little surprised that Arkansas seems to simply live and die by their style of play. I’ve watched a handful of their games this season and I haven’t seen them make any adjustments in pace during the game.

Boston might be the most valuable player in the nation, or at least 1A with Ionescu. I think she's the best defensive player in the country as well. Her footwork and IQ are supreme. She blows up possessions more than anyone I've seen this year. That one move--her to SC instead of UConn--changed this season and perhaps the next few years. UConn would be pretty much unbeatable the next three with her and possibly the favorite this season as well.

and unlike the PAC12 conference which I can't get without a second mortgage, I can see Boston's games on the SECN /ESPN+ networks. Glutton for punishment.

I agree with this. Boston has completely changed the level of South Carolina on both ends of the court. She's the primary difference between South Carolina being a S16 team and hopefully a F4 team.

I do think that we have underrated Zia Cooke actually being a somewhat better version of Tea Cooper. Her conference numbers are great. its gotten lost a bit in the shuffle.

It is different. They are the least present rebounding team we've played. That's for sure.

i like Neighbors, I hope he finds someone to play inside.

He should've cloned Osahor.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Should have cloned somebody.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Should have cloned somebody.

Well Osahor's the only productive big he's coached thus far (maybe Walton too but she was a combo forward). Cloning Plum would've been a great idea too but wouldn't have helped w/ interior D or rebounding.
