Well, hello from CLA again for another WBB home game. Some bad news for the Gamecocks though as Te-Hina Paopao has a rolled ankle and is out of commission for the evening, meaningg South Carolina is down to just nine healthy bodies against the Jackrabbits, a team that reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season.
We hung in there through a 10 minute drought the last half of the first half. Mack was a load. MANY contributors, lot of fight, some smart play, keep your cool Meechie, 0 FTs in 1st half but got into the bonus early 2nd half, led about all of the second half, managed the last few minutes well, Wright was good late, Mack 9-9 at the line - Go Cocks! 5-0.
I enjoyed watching. GC has a very athletic team. Good win.
I'll have live updates on the Gamecocks vs. DePaul tonight for those of you still awake. The winner will play the winner of Grand Canyon and San Francisco on Sunday, and the loser will play the loser. We should know at least one part of that equation in a few minutes.
If you're trying to watch at home, it's on CBS Sports Network
