The Feed Pail: South Carolina men's basketball tops Allen in exhibition; wrapping up football's loss to Vols

TheBigSpur: Gamecocks absorb early punches; fight back. Credit to the Gamecocks for keeping their heads above water and not throwing in the towel even when up against it - despite the bitter ending to the game. How will they come out of the gates on Saturday when top-10 Florida comes to Williams-Brice Stadium, the Gamecocks' third-to-last game? Plus, a recap of Shawn Elliott's Sunday's teleconference and a breakdown of the men's basketball team's win over Allen.

GC: Nice read by Scott Davis on his trip to New York and encountering Gamecocks fans along the way - even in unexpected places. Also - could a former South Carolina Mr. Football be interested in coming home to finish his college career?

The State: Gamecocks happy to be home for final three games. Granted, two of them will be tough - Florida and Clemson - but at least the games will be happening in front of home fans. Plus, defensive players looking to follow Walton's lead, an early look at Florida, and a look at Temarcus Blanton's first collegiate action on the court - the redshirt freshman had a good performance in the game against Allen. (Here's their recap of the game.)

ESPN: Where do the Gamecocks sit in the SEC power rankings? Plus, Dawn Staley sat down with Bob Ley to talk social media. Staley's very active on Twitter and is well aware of the pitfalls her student-athletes could end up in if they don't use the platform correctly.
