What Gamecocks' first SEC availability report says about LaNorris Sellers' status

As expected: No. 17 South Carolina listed quarterback LaNorris Sellers in its first availability report ahead of Saturday’s matchup against Arkansas. After injuring his ankle during the Gamecocks’ 17-9 win over Texas A&M last week, Sellers is designated as questionable three days out from USC’s game in Fayetteville. Receivers Nyck Harbor and Nitro Tuggle and defensive back J’Zavien Currence also were listed as questionable. Sellers got tests done on his ankle Sunday night and South Carolina coach Shane Beamer said “everything looked good,” giving him the confidence to say, “We fully expect him to play (against Arkansas).” In the second quarter of Saturday’s win over the Aggies, a Texas A&M defender landed on Sellers’ left ankle as he sacked the Gamecocks’ quarterback. Sellers left the game and immediately got X-rays inside Williams-Brice Stadium. When those came back negative, meaning there was no break, it allowed Sellers to continue playing. Early in the second half, it was clear he was struggling to manage the pain. He wasn’t stepping into throws. He consistently looked down at his ankle after bad throws. He seemed unsure of how much the ankle could take. Eventually, though, the injury’s affects weren’t showing themselves as much, which

Former Gamecocks assistant Winston Gandy earns signature win at new school

A former South Carolina women’s basketball assistant coach started off his second season at his new program with a marquee win. Former Gamecocks assistant Winston Gandy’s Grand Canyon University women’s basketball team upset Oregon 81-74 at home Monday for its first win against a Power 4 team this year in front of a near-sellout crowd. The Ducks, a perennial NCAA Tournament team , were favored by 9.5 points despite playing on the road at GCU in Phoenix. But Gandy’s Antelopes (2-0) led by as many as 18 points and shot 9 of 13 (69.2%) on 3-pointers to upset an Oregon team that won 23 games and reached the NCAA Round of 32 as a No. 8 seed last year. The Oregon win marks Gandy’s second against a Power 4 team at GCU after the Lopes, who play in the Mountain West, beat ACC team SMU last year. That’s one win shy of Grand Canyon’s all-time win total vs. P4 teams before he arrived (three). Grand Canyon’s Monday win was nationally televised on CBS Sports Network. “I thought we got lost in winning,” Gandy told GCU’s radio broadcast postgame. “That was our thing: Get lost in winning, and everything else will
