Noon tip. Hoping that Sam Thompson gets some good minutes, really want to see what he can do in a meaningful game. I'll take the Bucks by 15.

Don't know much about SC, but saw where Ellington, their two-sport star, is just getting his basketball game in shape. He's been one of their leading scorers in the past, although he didn't have a good game against OSU last year. Hopefully, we see a repeat of that -- and of Jared's 30 point effort in the win a year ago.

Let's get a win on the road for the first time AND make sure everyone comes out of it healthy, especially Sullinger.

South Carolina has been pretty bad with losses to Elon & Tennessee St., they've had close wins over Mississippi Valley St. and Presbyterian. There offense is among the worst in the country averaging only a little over 60pts/gm.

Checked up on the Gamecocks a little bit, pretty bad team at 4-5, main thing is to get the W and get the hell outta Dodge.

Sullinger looked like he tweaked his ankle.

Lenzelle Smith Jr is a little shaky these last few games.
Sully still on the bench.

Deshaun's transformation has been fairly amazing. You would never believe this was a guy that didn't pass the ball and did nothing but chuck up 3's every time he touched the ball.

Smith plays great d, but has no confidence on offense. He passes up wide open looks and doesn't drive anymore because he is afraid of going to the line.. Just my opionion. But the last few games that's what it's looked like.

South Carolina is allowed to play more physical than Ohio State so far from what I can see

Looks like Sam Thompson will be receiving the freshman treatment once again.

Ravenel makes me nervous, that kid shouldn't be putting the ball on the floor

Bruised foot from a kick on Sully. He will have x rays. Either way we need to get our shit together.

Craft needs to look to score more, especially with Sully out.
