Please disregard my statement. Cooper is getting back in the game.
You have to adjust to the way the game is being called. Auburn is up into our guards. You have be able to break them down off of that instead of crying for calls. Refs are not going to call every foul.
It is a strangely called game. They get away with extreme hacking. No call. We get away with some hacking then get called for lots of touch fouls. They get called for no touch fouls or hacks.
We like to bring in bench players and wear the our team down. Doesn’t work against these guys because they go 10 deep and theirs are better than ours. Let’s just try to keep it respectable.
Disregard my previous statement, I thought you were talking about Cooper.
On the bright side, we managed to get an additional win by not getting the double bye.
This beat down was inevitable vs this style team.
We are good. We just aren't THAT good.

Wrong, Auburn is playing the right way based on their strengths. Why be disrespectful because they are kicking our ***.
Auburn is playing a great game. Beating us over and over on back cuts and knocking down shots. Nothing street ball about it. Street ball is all offense and no defense. Their defense is relentless.
I am mostly curious at this point to see if we can actually lose by the same margin as the first game. Just like watching a train wreck.
We obviously do not match up well with Auburn. They are a good team. Pearl has done a very good job in putting that team together.
You are probably joking (I know I am), but this beat down does have a Mel Tucker feel to it.
Looking at it the other way, I'm glad we took care of the extension during the SECT and don't have to deal with that distraction during the NCAAT.
Well I now have my player that gets on my nerves #0 for auburn(the one that looks like Russell Westbrook in the face, yeah he's that ugly) now that's established, auburn will probably win the tournament and that little jerk will probably be MVP.
#4 for auburn is a close second, looks like an ugly Carlos boozer annoying too.
Still think Pearl's a cheating sack of...

This game will do wonders for our NET ranking. lol.
There wouldn't have been anything embarrassing or concerning about losing this game. I don't think the committee would think twice about it. But, dang, 31 points? They'll notice that.

Really nervous about Cooper. If he is out then the season is over for South Carolina. Hopefully Coach Paris has good news about Cooper's status.
Mel Tucker was 9-15 as a Head Coach before that one magical season he had. He was 7-7 after that one magical season. Lamont Paris @Chattanooga won a conference championship in his 5th and final season there, winning nearly 70% of his games in his final 3 years there. There is no similarity.
Bruce Pearl is in his 10th season at Auburn. He was 26-40 after his first 2 seasons there finishing 13th in the SEC both years and made no post-season tournament.
Relax. I prefaced my comments by saying I was joking. I was merely comparing this game to the Ohio State game right after Tucker got his big contract. And, yes, those games do feel similar.
Others might remember Mel Tucker and how he did after that one season. I just wanted to comment for those that there are no similarities between those 2 guys abilities.
If you're talking CBB mens and women's combined, maybe Kim Mulkey, but even that may be a tie.
Lol. Good point. Personally, I'm not as passionate about women's basketball. I had to quickly go and edit my original post to add "college basketball" because I forgot about Dabo and Shawn Payton.
You and I probably agree on both the timing and size of Paris' new contract. But today sure felt like a Gamecock moment.
It does, doesn't it? Soak it in, King. That's how you know you're still alive . . . and still a Gamecock.
I come here for recreation and entertainment. I do the best I can to contribute those blessings to others as well.
They are obviously better than us, but it's hard to believe someone who finished with the same conference record as us is THAT much better than us. But they did it 2x, so you can't argue against it. The general sense was the first game was just an anomaly. Hard to keep that narrative now, though.
I wonder if we agree because (based on your handle), I think we both are Boomers. If so, we have both seen more of those "Gamecock moments" than any human beings ought to endure.
