if Mcrae stays out, Stokes is going to have to really carry us in the 2nd half. Really like his game today. Exhibiting a lot of patience and good decision making when he gets the post feed.
..i have to confess though, part of me doesnt want Stokes to improve THAT much over the rest of the season, lest he start thinking NBA..we need him back next year.. i know. selfish. cant help it.

I think he still needs another year. He would have be really dominant down the SEC stretch run I think for him to go pro.

i absolutely agree. But it is starting to look like he's really picking up his play. Looks like the lightbulb is finally going on and he's understanding how to defeat the double teams.

Football could use Stokes as a lead blocker in goal line situations.

They just have no answer for Stokes inside. Looks like they are going the hack-a-Shaq route. That is working, so far.

looks like SC is going to employ the "Hack-a-Stokes" strategy for the 2nd half. Stokes needs to drain some FTs.

Sloppy start to 2ndH allows Gamecocks to take the lead.

Not sure why Vols have decided to start trying tough passes. They took good care of the ball in the 1stH, and things looked good.
