I have intently watched every Carolina basketball team since the mid-80s....

Better tell Ray to pony up some real $$$$$$$$$$. That's the only way the mens BB team turns around.

And whatever you do, don't tell @GoCocksFight2021 that we might have to spend some big bucks. If you want to make big changes, you gotta pay up. It's that simple. GCF2021 will tell you we can't get a good coach to come here and I'm telling you what everyone has known since time began...... > money talks. We can have any college coach in the country - it's true - we just have to offer a big enough # in terms of $$$.

Until that happens, nothing will change.

So, Ray has as much money as he needs to buy the best coaches in the country, even $5 million for an OC like you suggested, but just decides to not do it for some reason? Even though not doing it might cost him his job. Make perfect sense. He's just a saver. LOL

Idiotic.

.......in that time span, the squad playing this season is the worst by a wide margin. Pick any team in that era & they'll beat the 2022-2023 squad in a best of 3 every single time.

I can confidently say we are the worst power 5 basketball team in the United States.

And Jackson........if he's what the NBA is wanting.......then the NBA is a joke. He just stands around.
Yea, ask Kentucky if we are the worst ....... Nice comments on one of our players. Looks easy while you're sitting on a 12 year old couch drinking your tenth beer.

I'm still fine with Lamont. I don't really fault him for the total mess the team is in. This roster is abysmal. I knew we'd be bad but could never have imagined we'd be THIS bad. As others have noted, there are high school teams that could be this squad.

Just have to accept that this is a throwaway year. On the plus side, it's not possible for us to be worse next year, so there's bound to be signs of improvement.
I think next year will be worse unfortunately. .500 the third year or it’s time to try again. Pulling for him.

I still say that 1998-99 team is the worst Gamecock squad I've seen. Without Mckie they'd been 0 for the SEC that year and might've won 2 games total. Even with him they still could only manage 3 wins in the SEC that I still don't know how they got them and 8 wins for the season total. And some of the losses: 86-57 to Tennessee, 76-48 to Auburn, 80-56 to Georgia, 74-40 to Kentucky, and of course the "Syracuse Massacre" 84-37.

Now I know some of those teams were among the best in the country, but aside from BJ, no one else on that team played with any pride.

That team was so bad it's permanently burned into my mind.
