South Carolina Game

South Carolina isn't that good. We just don't play with our heads.

It would be a close game if Mussini was hitting these open 3's.

Ellison can't play big minutes yet. He's been brutal on both ends. I don't know if missing all that time from the injury is the cause or what but he needs to stay on the bench until he figures it out

Late October 2016 can't come quick enough.

Exactly!  They aren't that good.  I knew it from watching 'em play a few times this season.  They are decent, but I wouldn't consider 'em to be a good team. 

If we played a bit smarter and headier, and could hit FTs, then we could have a much closer game on our hands.

Can you decline free throws like penalties in football?

4/16 from the line. My god.

I hate to speed up life, but I'm with you there, Paultz.

I have a feeling if LoVett become eligible, then Ellison won't be seeing much burn.

The Gamecocks have been begging to be backdoor'ed. 

Ellison must believe the rim is 12 inches to the right.  My word.

Seriously.... I kinda feel bad for saying this. But Ellison's shots remind me of youth league or middle school kids shots. Those shots are wild, and aren't close to going in.

If we were a bit more talented we would have stolen this one.

Now you see what I mean. Kid has a ton of upside but needs to put in a TON of work. Last game Tarik called him a gym rat and I almost spit out my drink. Hopefully he is becoming a gym rat though

Your post just sounded rather cruel the other day.  No offense to you, though, as I'm assuming what you meant to say. 

This is what I'll say....  I'm not gonna write him off just yet.  The light may come on, and he figures it out.  So, I'm gonna give him the remainder of this season to show what he can bring to the table.

If he doesn't get things going, then he could find himself being caught up in a numbers game a season from now with Ponds, LoVett, and Mussini already in the fold.  Then, there is a chance we could also have Bashir, Freudenberg, and someone like Alkins. 

I really hope he proves me wrong in the end. 

Down 6 at halftime and they totally let SC blow them out in about 4 or 5 minutes after that.

Also the free throw thing is horrific. Really never saw anything like that two games in a row.

Never thought I'd ever say this....  But we're missing Balamou. 

At least they covered if you got them at 14 and the hook. Clutch free throws from yawke at the end.

The coaching staff is stealing money.  Mullin sits on the scores table and the other guys sit there quietly while these kids are out there struggling . What would people be saying if Roberts or Lavin behaved like this. Unacceptable

30/61 on FTs over last two games
