I felt like that was a must win game for our tournament chances. Dozier is the real deal. Glad we got Sin back too.
Sin was so clutch. Hard to believe Silva has played so little because he picked up the sport quickly. Speaking of that, Kotsar has been the most fundamentally sound freshman I have seen us have in years.
I'm not sure if it's Frank or one of the assts but someone on our staff is good at teaching post moves. Lithuanians as they came along, Silva this year etc. Excited to see what can be done with Kotsar
post offense is really mostly a feel thing. There are little things to teach but it's mostly just "if the defender does this, do that." Silva is a freak athlete and Kotsar has great touch. Chetwatermelon and Kaichalithuania didn't really have either of those traits and had to work really hard to get good.
Obviously you can improve in various areas. He got comfortable with some moves and improved his touch around the basket. His growth with touch around the basket was incredible his senior year but that's just reps.
we need one of the bigs - keita - to step up for an inside presence. it's amazing how our games go depending on the officials. if they let us play tough D then we can beat anyone but if they call contact then we end up letting the other team shoot 30+ free throws. Frank needs to work the officials hard early in the season.
Yeah the stats last night were pretty suspect...we outscored them by ~20 in the paint yet they shot ~20 more free throws
your team's time in the sun has diverged into a discussion on the merits of grabbing another guy's taint
Letter from Ray Spoiler Happy New Year Gamecocks! I hope that 2017 will bring you great joy, great health and plenty of wins. As we finish the Fall 2016 season and enter Spring 2017, I want to update you on what is going on with Carolina Athletics. The 2016 football season set the table for future success in our program. The team fought hard all year long, resulting in another bowl game appearance. We had a very young team in ’16 with great leadership from our senior class. No SEC team had more input from its freshmen class than we did this season, with seven true freshmen starting, which was tied for most in the country. Coach Muschamp’s energy and passion are infectious. We have a lot to look forward to in the coming years under his leadership. A special note of thanks goes to those fans who made the trip to Birmingham to support the Gamecocks in our bowl game. We have a lot to offer our student-athletes. The Gamecock Student-Athlete Promise outlines a program that provides our student-athletes with the finest combination of development, academic advisement, physical and mental well-being and coaching of any program in the nation. We set out developing The Promise using the mission of Gamecock Athletics, giving our student-athletes “a championship experience” while wearing the Garnet and Black. With the principles of hard work, dedication and commitment, there is no doubt that we will be competing for championships in the near future. The building of our program continues full steam ahead with the Gamecock Football Operations Center. The Football Operations Center will provide our football program with a recruiting center, locker room, weight room, athletic training room, coaches’ offices, meeting rooms, dining room, equipment room and player lounges; all in one convenient location. With hefty demands on the student-athletes’ time for athletics as well as academics, the Football Operations Center centralizes all football activities to maximize preparations and allows for a more efficient way for student-athletes and coaches to conduct their daily responsibilities. The operations center will be constructed alongside the new Jerri and Steve Spurrier Indoor Football Practice Facility and the new outdoor practice fields. Our fundraising efforts continue for the Football Operations Center. Donors have given more than $16 million to this transformational facility. Go to ExpandingOurVision.com/Football to learn more about this important project. We are constantly reviewing what we offer our student-athletes and are always looking at ways to improve our athletics program. Coach Staley’s women’s basketball program is competing for a national championship again this season. During the non-conference portion of her schedule, we have already defeated the 6th-ranked and 14th-ranked teams (on their home floor), the 4th-ranked team on a neutral floor and the 9th-ranked team at Colonial Life Arena and we’ve already started conference play 1-0. Coach Martin’s men’s basketball squad has opened the season strong with an 11-3 start, including a big road win against Georgia Wednesday night. There isn’t a team in the nation that plays better defense than ours. A strong showing during the SEC schedule will keep us in the mix for an NCAA Tournament bid. Our basketball fans, men’s and women’s, have been tremendous in their support of our teams. I look forward to seeing you at Colonial Life Arena as we move into SEC action. The success of our soccer programs in the fall has set the stage for what I believe will be a great season for our spring sports. Last year, we had the best finish in the Learfield Director’s Cup Standings since 2002-03. I believe we can surpass that this season. We are also engaged in the Palmetto Series against our in-state rivals. Last year, we took the initial Palmetto Series title, 10-5. It’s close this year, but there are still points to be won. These are great competitions that showcase overall athletic success. Our goal is to compete for championships in every sport we sponsor. We continue to enhance our efforts to compete in all of our sports with the recent additions of the soccer facility, the golf practice facility and the Cregger Track. Please note, we are hosting the 2017 SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the Cregger Track on May 11-13. I look forward to seeing you there. I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of all of our student-athletes. We consistently lead the conference in the SEC Academic Honor Roll and community service hours. For the Fall 2016 Semester, our student-athletes had a cumulative 3.245 GPA. Great work by our student-athletes! We compete relentlessly for championships with integrity, character and passion. We like to say that our student-athletes have a "championship experience" during their time at South Carolina. The coaching and development, the skills and training are the best in the nation. The lessons learned come in a multitude of ways, some more high profile than others. Every decision, every policy, every rule is put in place to help our student-athletes learn and be a better person when their eligibility is complete. I appreciate your support of our program. To be a part of our program, please join the Gamecock Club. All of our coaches, staff and student-athletes appreciate our more than 17,000 members. January 31 is the deadline to renew your membership. It’s Great to be a Gamecock!
$16 mil football ops building while your rival builds a $55 mil one? Where are you squirreling away all your sec money?
No, that's honestly the only thing I know about your new facility. I couldn't care less and wonder why Clemson posters spend more time in this thread than Carolina fans.
That's how much private money has been raised for it comparatively to y'all's. Our facility is like 48 mil compared to y'all's 55 mil
Hey let's grab each other's cocks and tug them a bunch! Oh wait this isn't the Clemson thread... Never mind! Got you fuckers good lmbo
So from what I can see the predicted snow line cuts off just above Columbia. Famously hot Am I reading that right? Signed, South Carolinian that wants to see snow
It will prob fuck our basketball game attendance up tomorrow though and Frank says we all need to be there
This thread sucks now. How many in a row do we have to lose to our rival before we make a private board
