Everyone in the SEC knows what star guard Devan Downey can do, but the Gamecocks (13-8, 4-3) are no one-trick pony.
Junior Sam Muldrow has played a key role in South Carolina’s last two wins, including five blocks in the huge upset of previously undefeated Kentucky.
He followed up that performance with his first double-double, tallying 19 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks in the Gamecocks’ win over Georgia on Saturday.
“Collectively we’re starting to get a little more from the whole, …

Mississippi State
The Bulldogs face a tough stretch with road games at Vanderbilt and Florida this week.
Mississippi State (16-5, 4-2) has played much better at home (10-1) this season, while the road has been rocky (3-3) with two straight road losses at Alabama and Arkansas.
Rick Stansbury’s Bulldogs face an accomplished Vanderbilt team that had won 10 straight games prior to its 85-72 loss to Kentucky on Saturday.
“We’ll have our work cut out for ourselves Wednesday night,” Stansbury said.

VANDERBILT
The Commodores (14-3) are off to a 3-0 start in league play, starting with a home win over a hot-shooting Florida team and the two wins on the road at Alabama and South Carolina.
Vanderbilt earned a 95-87 victory over Florida, but Commodores coach Kevin Stallings had some positive words on Monday about first-year Gators Kenny Boynton, Vernon Macklin and Erik Murphy.
Stallings praised Boynton, a freshman who scored a career-high 28 points in the conference-opening loss at Memorial Gym in Nashville, …

The Razorbacks (8-9, 1-1) have a difficult week ahead, playing Florida and No. 1 Kentucky within a 48-hour period.
Coach John Pelphrey said the logistics will be hard, but the quality of competition will be even more difficult.
“The short turnaround is a byproduct of our conference having the best television package in the country,” Pelphrey said.

Gold Star: Georgia. If you expected Georgia to rush for 339 yards and beat seventh-ranked Georgia Tech on the road, then you are probably the only one. Freshman tailback Washaun Ealey (of eye-gouge-gate fame) rushed for 183 yards and helped the Bulldogs get their biggest win of the season.
Silver Star: South Carolina. The game started with Clemson running back C.J. Spiller took the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. It ended with South Carolina routing its in-state rivals 34-17. The …

Gold Star: Mississippi State. Dan Mullen caps his first season as Bulldogs’ coach with a big win over Ole Miss. Not only was it a win against a rival, it was a win against a ranked team, which makes a 5-7 year a little easier to swallow.
Silver Star: Auburn’s defense. Even though Alabama running back Mark Ingram left the game with a hip pointer, Auburn held him in check while he was in. Ingram only rushed for 30 yards against …

OLE MISS
Coach Houston Nutt predicts there will not be a letdown after a thrilling victory over LSU last week.
Nut says that the rules are a little different because the Rebels take on rival Mississippi State. “This week’s always personal, it’s a rivalry. There’s aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters that have been talking about this game,” Nutt said.
He also pointed out that his team’s win over Tennessee was emotional, but there was no letdown against LSU.
Last week: Beat LSU, 25-23
This Week: …

Coach Steve Spurrier enjoys night games, but doesn’t mind day games later in the season.
Spurrier says that with the SEC Network’s partnership with ESPN, his Gamecocks play whenever television tells them to. He also said that night games are fun earlier in the season, but it’s good to have some day games as the season progresses.
The Head Ball Coach will get his wish this week as South Carolina comes off of a bye week and plays its season finale …

Gold Star: Kentucky. Kentucky improved 7-4 after its first win over Georgia in Athens in 32 years. Don’t look now, but the Wildcats are on a three-game winning streak heading into a season-ending showdown with Tennessee.
Silver Star: Florida backup quarterback John Brantley. Brantley completed 9-of-13 passes for 146 yards and three touchdowns on Saturday against Florida International. Even though the competition wasn’t stellar, Brantley showed a nice command of the offense.

Gold star: Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett. The sophomore threw for 313 yards and five touchdowns in a win over Mississippi State. In a season of ups and downs for the Razorbacks, Mallett has been a consistent force. The SEC will be a more exciting league if Mallett decides to return for his junior season.
Silver star: Ole Miss. The Rebels turned in a classic performance in beating LSU, and running back/wide receiver Dexter McCluster played an important role again. A week …
