In Tuesday’s paper, I provided a projected starting lineup for next season. But I wanted to expand on that a bit, since there are so many possibilities that singling out five players is almost certainly going to end up being wrong.
Let’s start out assuming Dominique Archie doesn’t get a sixth year, and not consider any [...]
The Associated Press writers awards for the SEC men’s basketball season have been released, and went as expected.
South Carolina’s Devan Downey was named to the league’s first team, becoming the only Gamecock besides BJ McKie to be named to the first team three separate times. But Downey again came up short in the player of [...]
When South Carolina lost at Wofford in December, there was a lot of kvetching around these parts: “You can’t lose to Wofford!” … “How sad is it to lose to Wofford?” … “If you can’t beat Wofford, you might as well give up!”
Well, the Terriers are now a No. 13 seed in the NCAA tournament.
The [...]
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – I’m sitting here on press row watching the game that for 30 minutes Thursday we thought for sure South Carolina would be involved in. Instead the road jerseys belong to Alabama, which is giving Kentucky a pretty good game at the half.
There was lots of stuff in Friday’s paper on the game, [...]
In an earlier blog post, I printed my ballot for the U.S. Basketball Writers Association’s All-District awards. Well, those tallies are now in.
Devan Downey made the 10-member All-District III team, which includes North and South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.
The other players to make the list:
Al-Farouq Aminu, Wake Forest
Trevor Booker, Clemson
Malcolm Delaney, Virginia Tech
Sylven Landesberg, [...]
If South Carolina plays beyond this week, it will be either the NCAA or NIT tournament.
Coach Darrin Horn ruled out accepting an invitation to either of the third-tier postseason tournaments: The College Basketball Invitational and CollegeInsider.com Tournament.
“We want to compete and play in the NCAA tournament, and if we can’t do that then NIT with [...]
The six finalists for the Cousy Award, given to the nation’s top point guard, have been named. Devan Downey did not make the cut.
The finalists are Kentucky’s John Wall, Maryland’s Greivis Vasquez, Duke’s Jon Scheyer,Villanova’s Scottie Reynolds, Kansas’ Sherron Collins and Ohio State’s Evan Turner.
I know what you’re saying: Turner is a point guard?
OK, I [...]
I’ll have more on the emotional meaning of South Carolina’s stunning win at No. 13 Vanderbilt in my Monday column. For now, here’s what the game means for the SEC tournament.
It means, as far as I can figure, South Carolina gets a rematch with Alabama on Thursday at 1 p.m.
The SEC hasn’t confirmed it, but [...]
As a member of the U.S. Basketball Writers Association, I am charged with voting for its All-American teams, All-District teams, and coach and player of the year awards for each.
The district teams are broken up by state, and the one I voted in was District III, which includes North and South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.
Here, [...]
Rick Reilly, who I admire a lot as a writer and columnist, takes South Carolina fans to task in his latest bromide on ESPN.com.
The major object of Reilly’s ire is the idea of rushing the court. Whether it’s a good thing or overused, I’ll let Reilly argue. But here’s what he specifically said about the [...]
