Jasper Oftedal on the schedule

We are playing in two tournaments the Blackjack Shootout (Iona) and Jim N Nick's Cougar Classic (James Madison). I was surprised to see that we are playing James Madison twice. The out of conference schedule has tough teams the toughest of course is going into Chapel Hill to play the Tar Heels. The conference will be a hard fought battle and I have no clue on how well we will do until the season starts. Can't wait till the 9th comes so we can kick off the season and turn and few heads.

South Carolina State at South Carolina

The first game of the season didn't turn out the way coach Oftedal planned. South Carolina State lost to South Carolina by 10. " You know the first lost always feels the worst we have to pick it up and keep it going" " I will admit I made a dumb decision by keeping Josh Jackson in the 1st half when he had 3 fouls when he commited his 4th in the 1st half I had to take him out." " Our shooting was horrendous we just kept throwing up 3's and that did not work at all."

1 2 T Final JU (0-2) 27 26 53 SCST (2-1) 41 40 81	November 14, 2007 Orangeburg, SC

Coach's Corner: We did really good tonight. It was a nice warm-up for next weeks North Carolina which I think this school has ever faced a harder opponent, but first let's talk about this game. We played well and shoot the light's out. We had four men in double digits. Carrio Bennett did great coming of the bench scoring 14. Josh Johnson is just a beast getting his first double-double of the season. The only thing I think we need to work on is not committing so many turnovers a team like NC will tear us up if this happens next week.
