Give us a prediction WG. Tony does it for football games.

Bad start to the game as South Carolina as bad shot selection and losing Jeffery Taylor leads to an early 6-2 deficit at the 15:33 mark

Malik Cooke has to be more of a factor with the line up that is currently on the floor.

Geez we need a backup pg.

Gamecocks again struggling from the field to start the game. They are playing some solid defense though. Doing a good job of shadowing John Jenkins and trying to be physical with him.

6'8 Anthony Gill the person checking him right now.

Vanderbilt retakes a 3 point lead 11-8 with 7:54 to go in the half.

Gamecocks have opened 4-of-17 from the floor. Similar to the Kentucky game in that they are hanging around despite the horrendous start. Somebody has to step up and be a spark, Ellington drives in the lane, tosses up an air ball but Harris grabs it and makes an athletic play to get it back in the basket.

Harris with 6 early points.

Nearly 15 minutes into the game and Malik Cooke has yet to score. Appears the scouting reports are starting to find him night in night out.

Cooke gets tied up going for a loose ball and comes up limping. He will head to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury. Brad Tinsley gets open for a three pointer as the Gamecocks are focusing on Jenkins who has just two points in the half.

3:17 to go in the half, Vanderbilt leads it 18-10.

Very crappy first half offensively. If you can't score, you can't win. Cooke stunk up the court. Nothing at all from him. Smith was awful. Gill shot very poorly. Harris was our only guy who played well on the offensive end. One guy won't get it done. Slawson had 2 fouls and no points. Leonard and Richardson had goose eggs. Absolutely awful.

I am not sure the stats are correct, they have the Gamecocks shooting 5-of-26 in the half however by my count it was 5-of-28. I guess it really doesn't matter at the end of the day. They didn't have trouble getting the number of shots that went in.

Vanderbilt only took 15 shots but made eight of them.

22-12 Commodores at the half.

Anybody know the subconscious score?

Ellington gets the start in the second half over Eric Smith.

John Jenkins gets hot and hits back to back three's in transition and th elead goes from 26-15 to 32-15 in the blink of an eye.

Last possession, Damontre Harris went to the floor and was slow to get back up.

32-15 'Dores.

Unbelievable

We just got our first assist at the 9:00 minute mark of the 2nd half. Gotta love that ball movement.

Well I said 75-65 and the final was 67-57, I had the correct deficit. Ellington goes for 20 points, Gamecocks now 0-2 in conference play 8-8 on the season.
