Nordin Kapic - Opens with 13 points Kapic accumulated 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 18 minutes during Tuesday's 91-72 win over North Carolina A&T.
Impact Kapic is really the only frontcourt starter for the Gamecocks. The 6-8 senior transferred in from San Diego where he averaged 10.7 points and 5.2 rebounds in 33 starts. The native of Austria should see plenty of minutes and be a factor on the glass.

Cam Scott - Not warming up ahead of opener Scott is not warming up with the team ahead of Tuesday's game against North Carolina A&T, David Cloninger of The Charleston Post and Courier reports.
Impact The report also indicated that Scott is "not hurt, not in trouble, not suspended, not sick". The expectation is that coach Lamont Paris will address is after the game, but Scott appears like he will miss the opener for whatever reason. Teammate EJ Walker is reportedly in the same boat. Scott was hoping to build on a decent freshman campaign and see more playing time as a sophomore.
