One thing that has jumped out to me in these first 2 games, PJ can shoot from distance. He looks like a totally different player so far this year.

Gamecocks win 81-49 to improve to 2-0. They'll conclude their 3 games in 5 days start to the season by hosting a tough and dangerous Monmouth on Tuesday night.

Thornwell led the team again with 20 pts: Dozier scored 15 pts, and McKie added 10 pts. The team shot 50% (12-24) from the 3-pt. arc, 59% (27-46) overall, and 94% (15-16) from the FT line. That's back-to-back games to open the season shooting 50% or better from 3-pt distance, and the team isn't being stingy on taking the shots either (21-42 thus far).

The team has a lot of height, athleticism, and quickness, and Coach Martin is looking to rotate everyone heavily, at least during the early part of the season. That will help the team be able to keep playing a physically overwhelming style of game once the SEC season kicks in...

They showed tremendous improvement from game one tonight ... their 3 pt shooting was threw the roof.
