Good morning. Coach Paris loves loves basketball…but you might be surprised to learn he was, in his own words, “so much better” at a different spot as a kid. 👀

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Keep Rolling. South Carolina women’s basketball took down Duke, 77-61, yesterday afternoon on the road to improve to 7-0 on the season. All five Gamecock starters finished in double figures, with Kamilla Cardoso leading the way with 15 points. Chloe Kitts added 14, Bree Hall posted 13, Te-Hina Paopao had 12, and Raven Johnson scored 11 in the balanced offensive effort. South Carolina got seven straight points from Cardoso in the fourth quarter to salt away the win!

🔼 A Worthy Finale. Cat Barry earned All-American status from the United Soccer Coaches! It’s the first time Barry has earned All-American honors during her career and she’s the 11th Gamecock women’s soccer player with the accolade. Barry finished her senior season with nine goals, five assists, and 23 points, which is good for third in the SEC. Barry is fourth all-time in Gamecock program history with 33 career goals!

🔼 Still Undefeated. Gamecock men’s basketball committed the fewest turnovers in a game since the 2008 season as the squad improved to 7-0 on Friday night with a dominant 89-67 win over George Washington. It’s just the eighth time in school history that the team has started a season with seven straight wins. Four Gamecocks finished the night in double figures: Meechie Johnson with 24, B.J. Mack with 20, Ta’Lon Cooper with 14, and Myles Stute with 11. The team will now hit the road to take on Clemson on Wednesday at 8:00 pm ET.
