Men's Basketball claimed the 2012 Hoops For Hope Classic Championship on Sunday night in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with a 74-62 victory over Arkansas-Little Rock. Senior forward Lakeem Jackson collected his second double-double of the season with 10 points and a career-high 15 rebounds. Jackson was named to the all-tournament team and senior guard LaShay Page was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.
FAN PHOTO OF THE DAY
Today's fan photo was sent to us by Lindsay Jackson after the Clemson-Carolina game on Saturday!
"My Dad, David Griffith (a Legendary Gamecock Fan) and I at the Clemson game 5-10 min after the Gamecocks' big win...and just before they kicked all of us out of the stadium! If you were there, then you know what I mean. (Probably bitter about the loss). Hey- It's Great to be a Gamecock! GO GAMECOCKS! FIGHT!"
