Dominique Archie News

Posted on Monday, December 21, 2009 at 11:28 p.m. Dominique Archie underwent season ending surgery earlier in the day.

Mike Holmes has been at two recent USC women's basketball home games. But the USC forward was kept home for the fourth straight men's game since his eye injury.

Perhaps this was inevitable. Perhaps the South Carolina men's basketball team had been playing way over its head the past two weeks, surviving too well without two of its key players.

Absent two key players, the South Carolina men's basketball team may still lack the manpower to beat a fellow major-conference team.

Darrin Horn wanted a good game. So the USC men's basketball coach scheduled Richmond, not aware of the Spiders' historical significance to the Gamecocks program until someone brought it up.

It took all of one year for USC athletics director Eric Hyman to be convinced that men's basketball coach Darrin Horn deserved a raise.

Darrin Horn showed again that while the zone isn't a staple of his defense, he's not afraid to use it.

Darrin Horn has only been South Carolina's coach less than two seasons. Yet, he's already heard far too much about the Gamecocks long losing streak to rival Clemson.

Coming off a home loss to Illinois where everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong, the Clemson basketball team now faces the daunting challenge of picking itself up off the mat.

Former Lee Central High School star and University of South Carolina forward Mike Holmes will be out indefinitely after breaking a bone near his left eye while at home in Bishopville over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Darrin Horn is not giving thanks for the shape his starting power forward is in coming off of Thanksgiving break.

COLUMBIA - When first scheduled, Friday's game against the Jacksonville Dolphins appeared to be a nice tune-up for the University of South Carolina basketball team.

Miami coach Frank Haith once had a brief association with the USC basketball program.

South Carolina forward Dominique Archie will be sidelined indefinitely because of a right knee sprain.

Dominique Archie kept the towel over his face, even as he made the long walk from the bench to the training room.

Devan Downey scored 17 points and South Carolina reached the championship game of the Charleston Classic by downing South Florida 69-66 on Friday night at Carolina First Arena.

Carolina First Arena a year ago was only a prelude to this. The Gamecocks are the home-state centerpiece in this weekend's Charleston Classic, an early season three-day tournament engineered by ESPN.

Dominique Archie scored 18 points and South Carolina pulled away for a 90-66 victory over Georgia Southern on Monday night.

The forward always seems to have that ho-hum air about him. The slow gait, the sleepy eyes, the gum chomping, the stare that is part blank, part annoyed.

Dominique Archie doesn't dazzle anyone with numbers. Sure, the former Josey start has started all 93 games of his college career at South Carolina.
