NCAAB Team Report - South Carolina - NOTES, QUOTES

One of the worst seasons in the University of South Carolina, the story ended, when the claimed 63-58 victory over Alabama, Gamecocks in the first round of the Southeastern Conference.

Gamecocks finished the season with a 10-21 after the publication of an indicator 2-14 SEC regular season mark. 21 most losses in school history.

Although the team struggled in every game and lost a lot of less than 10 points, he seemed to be doomed before the start of the campaign.

South Carolina plays a large part of the way from Alabama, a team has won in Colombia at the beginning of the season.

"I think you've seen today, just disappointed where we ended up part of the game we hurt the guy or couple that ... the key guys troubles of wine," USC coach Darrin Horn has said after the loss - before it was dismantled. "It's part of a disappointment. There is no doubt about it. One of the things we are proud that we strive to create the program, and one of the things you have to learn: how to compete and fight and continue to work hard and develop work ethics and culture of competition.

"And our guys do not. Just as we saw today, we are ready to have a chance to win the game, and we do not make enough plays all or were outstanding. (We), enclosed in a small percentage of cases, throws little and did a great job.

"But, again, we dug a hole in the first half of our turnover. Seventeen turns a lot to overcome when you're not a team that scores a lot."

After the end of the 2010-11 season, the guard Ramon Galloway, who averaged 10 points per game, and the sixth man, was dismissed from the team.

Forward Murphy Holloway, who transferred to USC from Mississippi, decided to return to Oxford, shortly after Galloway was expelled.

It is almost sealed the fate of fighting cocks, "and if it was not enough, starting point guard Bruce Ellington to compete with the football team, which means to join the team late in basketball.

Fighting cocks are simply not enough power to compete with rivals in the league. This has created strong pressure on Ellington and senior forward Malik Cooke put it. The duo did their best, but was unable to bear the entire burden.

- Loss of South Carolina, Alabama in the first round of the Southeastern Conference means that the team tied the school record for all time loss for the period from 21. Team Gamecocks finished the 1937 campaign with a 3-21 mark.

On the day after Bruce Ellington scored a goal in the victory over rival Clemson on a pass 49 yards, he joined the Gamecocks basketball team. After leading the team scored a year ago, and the Securities and Exchange All-Freshman team took some time, 5-9 point guard to get his bearings.

Although Ellington was second in scoring on the team, one of the two double-digit scorers, he never seemed to fully regain the form that looks like a beginner. It's a shame, because USC coach Darrin Horn had a significant improvement.

Ellington spent almost no time working on his game in the offseason, when he was re-acquainted with football. He will play a sport next season, but has not yet announced what will happen.

- The first season of Damien Leonard was difficult. Recruited as one of the best outside shooters in the country in the 2011 class of high school, he was inconsistent. He finished the season on a high note, however, scoring 13 points in the season finale against Alabama. Horn believes that he still has the ability to be collegial outstanding artist.

FINAL RECORD: 10-21, 2-14, last in the SEC East Division

2011-12 Season Summary: The season has been a slow start, as the C Damontre Harris was injured in the ankle and foot that kept him from much of preseason practice in South Carolina. Top scorer in the 2010-11 campaign team, Bruce P. Ellington missed the first six games of the season, playing a show with a team of USC football. He missed another contest, participating in the Capital One Cup.

It was obvious that the team was in trouble after the early loss of Tennessee and Elon. Things looked like when the team defeated rival Clemson Road, but it was an anomaly. Harris was a slow start but came on strong late in the season when he finished second in the SEC in blocked shots. Old Anthony Gill shows the possibility to become an artist one day star in the league, but seemed to have hit a brick wall down the stretch. Ellington played well in spurts, but never seemed to fully return to the form that appears in the All-SEC dress a year ago.

The team dropped 11 of its last 12 games, and does not seem to make much progress from the beginning. The only positive was the team always seemed to play hard, despite the lack of impact on the dashboard.

Quote NOTE: ... "I learned a lot from everyone on the team I loved to play with my teammates, I wish we could a few more wins, I could give my team a few wins, but they are a great group of guys, and they will come back next year willing to work hard and win games, of course, a little more. "- F Malik Cooke, South Carolina the same direction.
