VIDEO OF THE DAY
Feature from The Frank Martin Show on South Carolina Men's Basketball great Jamel Bradley (1999-2002) who led the Gamecocks in scoring in the 2000-01 and 2001-02 seasons and still holds the Carolina career and single-season records for three-point field goals made and attempted.
ROOSTER CROWS
SEC coaches have selected Jadeveon Clowney as the SEC Defensive Player of the Year, and have named punt returner Ace Sanders as the SEC Co-Special Teams Player of the Year. They are the first Gamecocks to win those awards since Carolina joined the SEC in 1992.
Men's Tennis got strong showings across the board this fall with Andrew Adams playing in the qualifying rounds of the ITA All-American and reaching the quarterfinals of the ITA Carolina Regional, Thiago Pinheiro winning the back draw of the Carolina Regional, Kyle Koch playing in the singles final at Chattanooga, and Harry Menzies reaching the final of the Carolinas Invitational at Winthrop while teaming with Ben Barnette to win the doubles at the event. The team combined for 29 singles victories and 12 doubles wins over the four fall events.
