South Carolina’s SEC opener against No. 11 Vanderbilt showed just how much pure aggression can shape a game. Coach Lamont Paris pointed out that while the Gamecocks have skill, it was Vanderbilt’s physical, relentless attacks at the rim that set them apart. Even with a hot streak of threes in the first half, South Carolina struggled to keep up when it came to finishing strong and getting to the free-throw line. Paris says it’s not just about shooting—it’s about attacking with purpose. What do you think the team needs to change to bring more grit to their next SEC matchup? #Sports #Gamecocks #SECBasketball
