The USC Gamecocks lost to the Kentucky Wildcats by the score of 67-58 but despite the end result for South Carolina, there is much to take away for future growth for the young team.  The Gamecocks showed good fight and at times hung with the top-ranked Wildcats but the “inside the paint” scoring proved to be […]

The USC Gamecocks basketball plays host to the Kentucky Wildcats tonight at 6 p.m. in the Colonial Center and it will be on ESPN.  Can a upset happen again?  Can Ellington put on a show like Downey? It will take a team effort from USC to beat Kentucky tonight and it can be done.  Kentucky […]

The South Carolina basketball squad (10-5, 1-1 SEC) travels to the University of Florida (13-3, 2-0 SEC) to clash with them on the hardwood.  USC needs to rebound after a poor outing against Alabama and defeat the Gators.  Winning against UF would be a nice resume builder for South Carolina as UF is number 4 in the […]
