Even though it was the Gamecocks best showing in a game as a team in a long time, the Gamecocks (8-7, 0-1) fell short but did play with great effort. Vanderbilt won by the score of 80-73, in what was the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams. I think the key for a Vandy win and the loss for the Gamecocks was at the free throw line. The Gamecocks shot just four free throws -- they made them all -- while Vanderbilt was 15 of 17, all coming in the second half.Anywho if you care, you can read more HERE.
Oh, those pesky Clemson Tigers got a surprise loss last night by a group of 49ers --more here.

I think the key was Mike Holmes fouling out with 10 minutes left to go in the game. Picked up 3 fouls in a span of 23 seconds. How does that happen? From what I can tell from people that were at the game in Nashville, the Ref's had a field day calling cheap fouls against the cocks. Weather or not this played a part in them losing I don't know.
I agree with MoH, losing Holmes was big, and it seemed like everyone else was in foul trouble from the start of the 2nd half on. I wasn't there but it sounded like the only way we could hang with them was to foul like crazy but if people who watched the game say they were cheap calls, what can you do? Refs are a part of the game and you have to adjust to them as well. Holmes losing his compsure and picking up a two-foul play was the beginning of the end. If memory serves, we will follow this close game with a blowout loss. But I hope not.

follow up from monday nights game
pretty good read
As I have said before, this season has been over for a while. Carolina played the best they have all season and still lost. UT is going to come in here this saturday slap a 30 point whooping on Dave and the boys.
If there is such a thing as a quality Loss then this is one.

You know it’s bad when the poll on gogamecocks.com says what should we do with Dave Odom? Then lists firing him as the first two options.... where is Greg Marshall when you need him?
