The Gamecocks dropped their last five contests, including their last four at home. At home, where they score fewer than 65 points a contest and make less than 40% of their shots, they don’t perform any better offensively.
Additionally, they had trouble at the free-throw line, making less than 65 percent of their attempts.
Although they were sloppy with the ball lately, the Bulldogs, who average more than 8 steals per game on the road, will have easy opportunities to score thanks to their strong rebounding, which will keep them in the match.
Anticipate the Bulldogs to contain South Carolina’s attack because of their strong defense, which is even stronger on the road where they allow just over 60 points per game.
The Bulldogs did well in their final three road matches, two of which were against ranked opponents, despite losing their previous four road games.
Although their offense doesn’t produce many points, they played better recently, averaging more than 67 points per game.
They are particularly active on the offensive glass, grabbing an average of over 12 offensive rebounds per game, which will offer them more chances to score against the Gamecocks.

Anticipate the Gamecocks to struggle in this match to slow down the Bulldogs because of their poor defensive play, which was worse recently as they gave up more than 80 points per game.
