[ConwayGmck]

Another SEC team with a big trio of scorers leading the way, in Walker, Lewis, and Copeland. South Carolina won the first game played this season in Tuscaloosa 77-60, and Lewis was the big scorer with 28 pts and Walker added 16 pts and 8 boards, but they were the only players to score in dbl digits.

Boston had a poor offensive game with only 5 pts, but had 10 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals. Henderson led the Gamecocks with 20 pts, Cooke scored 18 pts, and Saxton added 15 pts.

Alabama has been the #2 team in the SEC right behind Arkansas in volume shooting and making of 3-pt FGs, but they shot 4-16 from behind the arc in the 1st game against the Gamecocks, who have the 12th-ranked 3pt FG % defense in the nation. Will be interesting to see which team wins that battle again later today....

 

[JellyBean]

South Carolina's defense is kicking in high gear now.

 

[LETTERL]

Alabama hanging in there...26-21 game, end of 1Q

 

[JDuro]

Destanni Henderson with 8 pts, 4 rebs, 4 ast, 1 stl in Q1.

 

[visitingcock]

Fast paced game. Alabama playing aggressive and physical. Lot of guard play offensive and defense.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Alabama is a sneaky team. They can be very good when they are playing well.

 

[SCGamecock]

I think I’ve seen Alabama miss maybe three times so far? Sheesh. It feels like they haven’t missed at all.

 

[visitingcock]

41-40 Bama at half. Wild game with fast pace. Shooting for both teams cooled of in 2d quarter.

It felt like they couldn't miss a 3 when we played them last year and this year.

 

[SECbbfan24]

Alabama has the guard play to honestly play with most teams if they are clicking. Their post play is where I think they get exploited a bit. Holding their own so far though.

 

[nwhoopfan]

South Carolina's defense is kicking in high gear now.

You were saying?

 

[mikeboss550]

Lele is so out of control she shouldn't be a guard she is a foward

 

[visitingcock]

64-54 Scar at end of 3rd quarter.

bama’s guards are highly aggressive

 

[SCGamecock]

I don’t even think SC is playing bad on defense. Alabama is just executing extremely well on offense. They look like an upperclassmen led team. I think they’re going to do very well in the NCAA tournament.

 

[mikeboss550]

We need more defenders like her

Amiherr just got taken to school and ankles broken

SCar by 13 at 4:56 TtV timeout

 

[visitingcock]

87-63 Cocks. Nice to see the bench empty in conference games!

menial Russel looked good n mop up

 

[SCGamecock]

I love seeing teams run out of steam against SC. Especially when they come out hot like Alabama did.

 

[JDuro]

Eniya Russell looked good n mop up

She's shown me more than enough she is a true PG. Plays heady with very good handles. I believe Dawn can trust her to play more there.

Alabama limited to 22 pts in the 2nd half.

Bama had 41 points in first half. 22 in second half. Their legs were gone by the 4th. Fast game

 

[mikeboss550]

That's sc ball this year...stay close at half then out run you

 

[Sched234]

Boston with another 2-10 shooting game against Alabama. They clearly have some sort of defensive scheme against her that works.

Unfortunately, great players find other ways to do work. 13 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 6 assists (just 2 turnovers).

 

[JDuro]

Littleton with 8 pts, 3 rebs, 2 ast in 23 minutes. Nice seeing her get extended PT.
