Men’s basketball

- Start date
All we had to do was finish in the top half of the conference and we go dancing. That's at the most. It almost sounded too easy but noooo... smdh.
This year team is not the worst South Carolina team I’ve seen….but it’s pretty close to it.
....LOL!!! Dumbass that I am!!!! ...... I thought he said .... "We need to get a bigger boat!!!"
Can’t score. Probably finish in the bottom four of the conference. Disappointing.
Last year must have just been "flash in the pan".... Paris needs to make sure this turnes around quickly, it is easy to lose the Mens Basketball fans!!
Meechie and Cooper were the heart of the team last season. It's a wait-and-see situation in terms of current players who can fill those roles on any regular basis.
The challenge is that January's schedule is brutal. This week, we're playing #5 and #2 in the nation and it doesn't get much easier from here.

The little experiment with Tanner and his worthless hire, it's time to get rid of Paris and let the new AD go find us a coach and not just someone that sees $ signs
Paris recorded our best regular season ever in his 2nd year here.
He took us to the NCAA Tournament in his 2nd year after an 8-year drought.
He's the reigning SEC Basketball Coach of the Year.
He's off to the best start in Gamecock Basketball history.
What more would you ask of him right now?
I too agree dont get rid of him NOW... But I will admit, This team (irregardless of schedule) is not NCAA tourney caiber..Paris recorded our best regular season ever in his 2nd year here.

Honestly, far too earlier to say how this team finishes out.
We just lost by 3 points to the #2 team country after leading a good part of the game.
Auburn thrashed us in both contests last season so the coaching staff did a great job in adjustments.
Murray-Bowles is an NBA Player.
The key is obviously getting more production from role players and we have many new faces.
We're not getting rid of Paris anytime soon so we might as well settle in for now.
Make that the #1 team in the country, Sometimes in basketball it takes some time for your talent to meld, especially when you have several new faces, our fanbase needs to be a bit more patient, the SEC has 5 teams in the top 8 and 9 in the top 25, we just got beat by 3 top 15 teams, we're going to have some losses. We beat Clemson, not a bad, team they beat Kentucky.
I will agreee on Lets see how this team finishes, it however is no too early to see this team is not good. Again, it is This coach's 2nd year, he did okay last year with basically Martin's players, lets see if he can get HIS players to improve.
This team just took #2 to the wire and also beat our ranked rival.
They can't be too bad when you compare them with what we've had the past few decades.
All of the key players who took we to the dance last year were recruited by Paris, not Martin.
Again, I think Paris's current stats speak for themself at this moment in time.
You can't get better when it's sized up with USC Basketball History over the same time frame.
What about North Florida?? that Powerhouse that usually gets to the Final Four Each year?? Thank Goodness he beat TATERS! And OH YEAH my bad, I forgot about Losing to a "GOOD" team, I wasnt counting "MORAL VICTORIES".This team just took #2 to the wire and also beat our ranked rival.

You're moving the goalposts, COD.
We had a slew of new players this year.
You use early season non-conference games to experiment and see who is going to be your starting 5 going into the main competition.
Ideally, you still want to come out with a victory as well, but sometimes that doesn't happen.
Again, Paris has the most wins of any basketball coach in USC History.
He just signed a new contract after recording the best regular season in USC History and is also the reigning Coach of The Year.
The idea of trying to pick him apart right now is a little misguided.
He's going to be here for at least another 2-3 years regardless of what happens.
Okay Ward, If i point out recent losses, You said Competition was too good, Early losses Becouse of new players. I will agree lets let the season playout, but even you can NOT say that this team (Right now) is a tournament team..You're moving the goalposts, COD.

We've been the NCAA Tournament a total of 5 times since we entered the SEC 34 years ago.
Only one time in that history have we gone in back-to-back years and that was with Fogler approximately 30 years ago.
So the chances that we go in back-to-back years again is rather slim.
I do like Paris alot though.
If you listen to his pressers, really knows the game well and what it takes to win.
He also seems to be a very cool guy.
I'm not sure what his NIL budget is, but if we can get him enough money to buy some decent players, I think he's as good as anyone we've had in the SEC era to deliver.
Also, the team we almost beat on Saturday (and lead for a good part of the game) is now the #1 team in the country.
We'll see how the rest of the season goes, but that's a pretty decent measuring stick that things are on the right track.
