Wow, as I sat there in the Colonial Center on Saturday night, I was in disbelief. Between UNCA’s 7-7 center or how bad USC really is. Last year Uncle Dave said we were going to relay on the outside shot, which resulted in coming in last in the SEC in shooting percentage. This year Uncle Dave said we were going to have a press defense with a run and gun kind of offense. Well on Saturday we didn’t press, and played a half court offense that was pretty much shut down by a mid major UNCA. Granted a 7-7 center will change your offense plan, but we still should have pressed there guards on the inbounds and in the backcourt, and push the ball up the court off rebounds. George, UNCA’s center was slow and could not keep up with the Gamecock speed. Now we head to Vandy, which has big man and a team that shoots the 3 with the best of them. I would be surprised if USC won a game in the SEC, I am sure we will surprise somebody, but come on.
The best part of the game was this crazy lady in the UNCA section behind the bench kept making a sue pig sound, which got the band going. So every time she made the sound, the band would echo it back to her.
