Why South Carolina Will Win

[SWC75]

- Defense….Defense…Defense…. I watched this team totally frustrate and throttle a Michigan team that knows how to score in a 61-46 victory earlier this week. We haven’t faced anything like this yet. And we’ve struggled at times against the over-matched teams we did play.

- Comparative scores: We beat South Carolina State 101-59 but they beat them 92-50.We beat Holy cross 90-46. They beat them 81-49 Are we playing ourselves?

- This team is coming off of a 25-9 year and are 5-0. We are coming off a 23-14 year and are 4-0. And, (sorry Monmouth), we haven’t really played anybody.

- They have a great, veteran –and big back court with 6-5 senior Sindarius Thornwell (13.4ppg last year, 20.8 this year) , 6-2 senior Duane Notice (10.8 last, 11.2 this), and 6-6 6-6 P. J. Dozier (6.7 then, 9.2 now). Notice was supposed to be their outside threat (he’s shooting Thornwell (.480) and Dozier (.438), have actually done better.

- 6-9 Chris Silva is “a true glass cleaner” and is averaging 10.2 points as well.

- Frank Martin won’t let them lose:

I normally don't do it for basketball because the early teams are often walk-overs but I decided to do this for Monmouth and South Carolina because they were played very close to the the time of the football games and I felt those games were more likely to be competitive. I think I'll do a why they'll win/lose for the BB games that appear to be competitive.

Thanks, I still had the board under ban for the beginning of the season, so I wasn't sure what I missed and dont always have the best memory of what I saw once I actually did stumble back in, ha. I enjoy your analysis and hope you keep it up. I just hope your wrong with the vast majority of these, no offense!
