The Gamecocks haven’t put together a consistent 40 minutes of play of late but did get solid contributions from some seniors against Kentucky.
Wildens Leveque and Keyshawn Bryant both had double-figure scoring. They need more from James Reese and Erik Stevenson, who combined to go 1-for-10 from three Tuesday.
A win keeps the Gamecocks’ incredibly slim NCAA Tournament hopes breathing but a loss effectively puts those to bed. Depending on the league’s other results, the Gamecocks would be in the middle of the pack standings-wise after today.
KenPom projects the Gamecocks to win 74-72 and gives them a 59 percent chance to win. It would give South Carolina 12-straight wins against Georgia with the last loss coming in 2016.
