Gamecocks Basketball Kicks Off Tonight

I know most are thinking about Ark-Kansas but the South Carolina men’s basketball team is back in action at Colonial Life Arena tonight!  Downey and crew look to get loose and start off a great year with a win.

They kickoff the 2009-2010 campaign with an exhibition against Kentucky Wesleyan at 7 p.m.  This will mark the second consecutive year the Gamecocks have hosted the Panthers for an exhibition game as Devan Downey scored 19 points in last year’s 75-55 win. Kentucky Wesleyan is already 2-1 on the young season winning one game in the Disney West Tip-Off Classic and then defeating Grand Canyon 71-49 on Sunday. They are led by 5’8 senior guard Desmond Stephens who enters the averaging 18 points per game.
