It was a 2 point South Carolina lead when I turned off the game to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation. The game wasn't must see tv.

Hey guys! Looking at all of your posts on here made me laugh as you guys aren't afraid to let my team have it lol. I highly agree with all you in the fact that this team oozes talent and is underachieving. But one thing for sure they are going through adversity at the right time and are realizing that everyone has to step up! Harris, Herbert Harrigan, and Cliney are going to be better come tournament time because is of this. Davis at times has looked like an All American and then the GT Davis but we need her to be a factor every night. Hopefully we get her full effort every night and she's a factor in the UCONN game and the NCAA tourney. I still believe this team is capable of doing great things this season but if we played like how we played last night then a exit in the sweet 16 is certain. If the South Carolina that wiped the floor with Louisville shows up then I think we have a chance with anybody!

Don't take it personally..........we tend to be a pretty critical lot although we do appreciate good basketball no matter what team is playing it.........USC is clearly one of the top teams in college basketball and Dawn has built a really impressive program.............Boneyard fans are spoiled by a program that is consistent as a fine Swiss watch while most of the other contenders to the throne lose track of time once in a while...............

Yeah your team is underachieving and offensively are one noted (?), but I still love me some DAWN!

First thought : When Cuevas is your best player on the floor :confused:.

Second Thought: Coates may be as strong as a bull but God is she slow. Thank god they let offensive rebounds be part of the game of basketball.

Third Thought: How do they attract so many fans with that style of play?

Final Thought: Hope Aja is back at full strength so we have a challenge before the tournament.

USC has a very large fan base and we have highly ranked attendance numbers in many sports. Big school in a decent-sized metro in a state with no pro sports. WBB has been helped by Dawn's accessibility and interaction with fans. She is universally loved in Columbia.

We are still inconsistent; the team has played some very good basketball this season - against Louisville, Minnesota and Alabama, in particular and also some very pedestrian basketball. TBH, though, we've won 25 straight games in conference, so Dawn is doing something right. There are other teams with more highly recruited classes; cough, Tennessee, cough, who haven't done as well. I'll tell you that Vic Schaefer has done a very good job at Mississippi State. I'm glad we're playing them in Columbia, but we will need A'ja to have a chance to beat them. That said, MSU hasn't played any good teams on the road and I think there will be 17-18,000 at that game.

That game needs to be a full house.. it will likely decide the SEC regular season title.

I've watched several MSU games and they are GOOD. SC better not sleepwalk into that one.. I'm hoping MSU is undefeated so they'll come into CLA as the higher ranked team.

I'd like to see that, but with MBB doing well and having high attendance, I think 17,000 will be the most we can muster for that game. Hopefully, I'll be wrong. I think the UT game is more likely to be a sellout.

So that they can show even without A'ja they can crush them. Sounds like a plan. You know how I feel. UConn and SC in Dallas, at the Cotillion, final game. A better plan.
 
Nothing said here was personal on my part - game threads tend to be a stream of consciousness thing rather than carefully thought out posts. I like and respect Dawn Staley and I like you South Carolina fans, too. I also appreciate the lack of obnoxious responses to this thread.

This is the game.... This is the one I've been wait so long for..... 18,000 screaming cocky gamecock nation fans packed in the CLAW to watch two potential top 5 teams go to toe to toe! That environment will be hostile and the crowd will be rocking while the sandstorm is playing! Looking back on all MSU's road games they have not played well particularly against Arkansas, Southern Cal, Iowa St, and Tenn. It will be a huge task for them to knock off the Gamecocks in Columbia and I'm looking forward to it!
PS: Vivians is their main scorer, limit her touches and shot attempts and force other players to score the basketball.

Morgan William is your prototypical playmaker at point guard, she likes to drive and score or dish it off... gotta limit her ability to drive inside as well. They have nice size down low with McCowan at 6'7" and Okorie at 6'5" which the rotate (hardly ever playing both because neither has the ability to play at the high post)

Blair Schaefer (coach's daughter) is their three point specialist and she's quick off screens and catch and shoot..

I agree, Vivians is the main culprit but this team has a few more weapons this year than last..

What is the word on Wilson's ankle?

She's practicing, but still likely not playing tomorrow. I would be shocked if she plays tomorrow.

I think Dawn sits her until Mississippi State.. a game that'll likely decide the SEC regular seasons title.
 
I think A'ja will play against LSU only if absolutely necessary. We wouldn't need her at home against Ole Miss.
