2007 South Carolina Basketball Predictions &
Season Preview
2007 South Carolina basketball
predictions and season preview from Jimmy Boyd will
help you get your season of
college
basketball betting off to a fast start. Head coach
Dave Odom is entering his seventh season as head coach
and if things don't improve this will more than likely
be his last. The Gamecocks finished last in the
SEC East going 4-12, losing 14 of their last 18 games,
and going only 10-7 on their home floor. We don't
see this team making the NCAA tournament, and it would
be a surprise to see them back in the NIT that they have
dominated the last few years (2 titles and a runner-up
finish).

The Gamecocks are going to have a real force down low, and that
has been a problem over the last several years. Dominque Archie is 6'7",
which is a little small for the power forward spot, but he did a decent job last
year averaging 8.8 ppg and 5.0 rebounds per game as a redshirt freshman.
Chad Gray is a 6'7" sophomore who struggled with injuries last year, but the
team is counting on him to step it up this year. The incoming freshman are
going to be counted on to help in the front court, but the problem is that young
players rarely have the size to come in and make an immediate impact in a
conference like the SEC. Mitchell Carter is the only real player with size
down low, but he's a little raw and will need to develop before seeing any time
on the floor.
South Carolina has a pair of transfers coming in to help the
backcourt. Devan Downey was a former Big East All-Rookie standout at
Cincinnati and Zam Frederick comes over from Georgia Tech. These two are
really fast and should push the tempo up as fast as possible. A couple of
additional sophomores will play a big role in Brandis Raley-Ross and Evaldas
Baniulis, giving the Gamecocks some depth. It's going to be interesting to
see just how these four gel together during the year. If they play up to
expectations then the team could possibly make the post-season, but we aren't
going to count on it.
