Lamont Paris and his SC hoopsters are giving the Gamecock support base something to cheer about, especially after winning the recent Desert Diamond Tourney out in Glendale, Az, taking down local favorite Grand Canyon in the finale. At 5-0, SC is off to its best start in years, and the Cocks have little to worry about in the post with a unique weapon in ultra-physical 6-8, 270-lb PF B.J. Mack (16 ppg). Meanwhile, former Ohio State transfer PG Meechie Johnson (14.4 ppg) continues to run the show with aplomb, while 6-6 Vandy transfer wing Myles Stute (12 ppg) is a jack-of-all-trades and fills a variety of roles, including as a defensive stopper. Scheduling breaks have helped ND to its 3 wins. Play SC
