reasonably, as a few Carolina fans have |
seen known to do, the answer would

lave to be yes.
With respectful exception to the soc- 1
:er and volleyball teams, fans will finally
have something to cheer about J
this year. A clue had to have been given
when Eddie Fogler, never one to sug- !
arcoat matters, said before the season,
The rebuilding is over, and we will win." 1
Ihe question is not if, but just how long !
it will take for the Gamecocks to gel and ]
become a formidable force in the SEC.
Whoever has been to watch the bas- '
ketball team play has to admit that it 1
is quite a treat to watch good, talented
players play a brand of good, talented
basketball. A barometer? A good opportunity
to see just how good these 1
?uys are will be this weekend, when
they travel to Charlotte to play Stanford
in the Tournament of Champions.
The Cardinals, ranked No. 15 nation- 1
ally, return all five starters. Saturday, 1
the Gamecocks will take on the loser of 1
the North Carolina-Tulane game. For
UNC-transfer Lany Davis and the rest
of the team, it could be quite an interesting
weekend.
