South Carolina basketball legend Devan Downey joins Carlos Powell for this week's all-brand-new episode of Full Court. Devan shares his incredible journey, from dominating the high school scene in Chester to making his mark with the Gamecocks. Devan opens up about his decision to return to South Carolina, the challenges of being a small guard in a big city at Cincinnati, and how he honed his craft to become one of the most dynamic players in Gamecocks history. And how could he forget monumental moments, South Carolina's unforgettable victory against #1-ranked Kentucky, where he led the charge against John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins in a career-defining performance.
