The good news is that we have State & Bama at home this week. Both very winnable.
Yeah, we're lucky they're both at home. I'm a big believer in "you are what your record says you are" neither MSU's or 'Bama's aren't very good but shouldn't be underestimated. MSU has lost good many games by 6-7 or less, including by 1 point to A&M. Of course, 'Bama just hammered us a couple of weeks ago.
If we can grab those two before the rough stretch I'll be happy.

Gamecocks fall out of the AP Poll, down to 27. Stayed in the Coaches poll at No. 22.
Lunardi having us as a 8 seed
SI having us as a 6 seed

Michael Carrera stepped up huge tonight. 34 Points, 15 Boards & 3 Blocks.
Not to get lost in Carrera's performance but Sindarius had a good game as well: 15 pts, 4 rebs & 2 asts.

18-2!

Mike was awesome.
Sin played better, but something is still off. He is still hesitant sometimes and a step slow. He did play a lot better though than the last few games .

Carrera leading the team in Points Per Game & Rebounds Per Game overall.
In SEC games leads the team in PPG (16), RPG (8.9) & FT% (.795) kid has been awesome this year.

These next four or five games are really gonna test us beginning with Bama at home this weekend and ending with what ... Kentucky at home in a couple of weekends?
These next five games are gonna tell us a lot about this team. Off the top of my head so don't quote me but it's something like Bama, @ UGA, @ A&M, LSU, Kentucky or something like that.

Didn't Carrera have 4 fouls too? Like with 10 minutes left? Instead of backing off he surged.

Another note by Carrera's historic performance:

Agreed, hoping for 3-2. Wins against Bama, UGA & split between LSU/UK.
Posted on 1/27/16 at 3:43 pm to CayceCock13
I'd be ok with that but honestly I'm a little more optimistic. We def lose A&M. But the other teams are all at home and road wins are hard to come by in this conference. I think 3-2 will be fine but i'm not counting us out of either LSU or Kentucky.

Anything less than 2 wins in that stretch will be disappointing.
2-3 could happen and would be understandable.
3-2 and I would feel pretty positive still.
4+ and we probably are still in the running, if not the lead, to win the SEC Reg Season, depending on who we beat.

I'm told <100 tickets left for the Alabama game. Poised for our 1st non-Kentucky sellout since Tennessee in '09. Let's make it happen.
WOW, we're out for revenge against Bama Saturday. If there's only less than 100 tix left, then the sellout is as good as done, son!

I was at that game. It sucked.
I was sitting in the front row of the student section and one of the players came up to us pre-game and said that if we win he wants us to rush the court. We technically ended up tying UT for the Eastern title that year anyway but lost to them twice that season.
They made it to the NCAAT and we got bounced in the first round of the NIT by a Curry-led Davidson squad. A UT win would have assuredly put us in the tournament.
eta: In hindsight, because we didn't go to the tournament it was pretty cool to get a front row seat to watch Curry do his thing.

Yep, the Vols always had our number in the Bruce Pearl years, because they always had the physical depth in the post, and those were among their leading players, while we were always either too short, too thin, or both.
That game they just beat the crap out of us in the paint, and out-rebounded us 44-22 and it wasn't even THAT close. Their forwards and big shooting guard were their top scorers and top rebounders, and they dominated in pts in the paint, 2nd chance points, etc.
I was hoping that with that physical advantage in the post being switched sort of to South Carolina's side of late, that we'd benefit from it against them in Knoxville. Last season there really wasn't much of an advantage on either side as the rebounding was minimal at 25-25 for each team. Tennessee's shooting was poor in that game as Punter was only 3-9 and scored only 9 pts in the 60-49 Gamecock win.
At home last season we were the better-rebounding team, but they raped us from the 3-pt line - that time not from one player, but from the entire team, shooting 10-18 from the 3 and 57% overall from the field, and jumped out to a huge lead before fighting off the late Gamecock surge to win 66-62.
But this season in Knoxville it was again a tie in rebounding at 34-34 - the difference in this game was Punter was the only Vol that went off, but he went off enough to be UT's only offense: if we could've contained him just a little bit, we'd have won the game.
We'll host them again this season, and hopefully we do a better job of defending the perimeter, or it's going to be another shower of threes against us...
Coincidentally, there were TWO sellouts in 2008-09 that didn't involve Kentucky: a month prior to that UT game, we sold out for Georgia, and actually won that game 79-68. We averaged over 15,000 for SEC home games that season, but strangely enough we did NOT sell out the home game versus Kentucky that season: only 16,035 for the 77-59 Gamecock win. Of course, UK wasn't #1 that year, either...
