The SC at UT game is gaining momentum as a huge game. SC needs to dispatch OU and LSU first, but I see this matchup on Rocky Top building up as it gets closer. Damned if SC hasn’t played the #1 SOS to date and into the near the future…they are battle tested.

For those that have missed it lately, SC now owns the consecutive SEC wins record of all time. They have been fire for past 10-12 years. That is a decent run folks, don’t think they quite done yet tbh. It’s a small matter either way, but it has been good basketball in that stretch.

That LSU vs SC game on the 23rd is gonna be massive. They are still undefeated & SC has won the last 66 straight at home. This is with the assumption that they will beat Florida & we handle Oklahoma in our next games leading up to that matchup.

OU presents a big challenge with Beers down low and their three point shooters on the perimeter. SC will find the way again imo. Same for LSU game. Then on to Rocky Top. Exciting games ahead for all. This is what we wait all offseason for folks!

A little over 2 hours until SEC games start…I’m very interested to see what Bama can muster at home as they try to keep alive their 11 game home winning streak. They will need to live or die by the three imo. I’m leaning towards a lower scoring game, prob on both sides. 74-61 SC

They were bench players....that is exactly what the example is. Geez....you try to belittle 2 bench players getting drafted and one in the first round. They are still on teams in the WNBA and there are not many that can say that....wow.

They would have been starters on most teams. Aja was a bench player her freshman year and our current top scorer comes off the bench.

My entire conversation was that coming off the bench at South Carolina does not hurt a player's chances in the WNBA draft. I was correct but some people do not let facts trip them up with what they want to believe.

If just getting drafted is the measure of success, the example given was a good one. But if being an actual W player who sticks in the league, gets minutes and has an impact is the measure, these two players were a strange example. That was my only point.

These girls made the rosters and are still active....Can you show me any other time that bench players were drafted and made the respective teams?????? The operative words are "bench players drafted that made a roster". You are again just spewing silliness because you are wrong. End of story. Geez.

Forgive me for failing to recognize the beauty of SC benchwarmers having the opportunity to be benchwarmers in the W. I thought you were saying SC's benchies (remember when Geno use to call his "the slugs"?) had gone on to be W stars.
