Sports editor Bobby Balboni argues that Sindarius Thornwell has been overlooked in the historical context of South Carolina's program.
Sindarius Thornwell is averaging 19.4 points per game this season, but without PJ Dozier in the starting lineup against Kentucky, the Gamecocks' problems on offense became glaring.
Behind a double-double from Alaina Coates, the Gamecocks remain undefeated in conference play.
Despite playing with reigning SEC Player of the Year A'ja Wilson and two former All-ACC First Teamers, Alaina Coates is No. 5 South Carolina's most valuable asset.
South Carolina men's basketball coach Frank Martin and Rhodes Scholar Jory Fleming have developed a mutually benevolent relationship during Fleming's time at South Carolina. Fleming was recognized for his achievement and named honorary co-captain in South Carolina's victory over Ole Miss.
Bianca Cuevas-Moore scored 25 points off the bench as South Carolina advanced to 4-0 in SEC play.
In his return from a six-game suspension, Sindarius Thornwell had 19 points and 11 rebounds, while making big plays on offense and defense to seal the SEC victory.
Freshman Rakym Felder topped all scorers with 20 points in South Carolina's win over Division II Lander.
PJ Dozier scored 26 points against Clemson, but his attempt at a game-winning three was long, and the Gamecocks fell 62-60 to their in-state rival.
The numbers speak for themselves in just how important SIndarius Thornwell is to this South Carolina team as they are forced to play without him.
After struggling early, No. 6 South Carolina used No. 9 UCLA's pace against them, dominating the third quarter to pull away in a 66-57 victory.
A'ja Wilson and Alaina Coates each had double-doubles, Kaela Davis had 17 points, and Doniyah Cliney set a career-high with nine rebounds in South Carolina's seventh straight win over Clemson.
The No. 16 Gamecocks had their perfect season ruined in a tight game versus the Seton Hall Pirates.
Sports columnist Mike Casey argues that South Carolina men's basketball is worthy of their significant jump from going unranked to No. 20.
After beating two ranked teams last week the Gamecocks move up to No. 20 in the AP Poll.
With four elite scoring options, all over 6-foot, the South Carolina women's basketball offense can give the nation's best teams nightmares.
Behind PJ Dozier's double double, and their staple man to man pressure defense, South Carolina pulled off their second straight win over a ranked opponent and pushed their record to 5-0 on the season.
