South Carolina’s two incoming freshman continue their all-star spring with the Jordan Brand Classic on Friday afternoon. Find out how to watch Agot Makeer and Ayla McDowell.

Makeer and McDowell have already played in the McDonald’s All-American game and the Nike Hoop Summit, which was played last weekend.

The pair were teammates on Team World at the Nike Hoop Summit, but they were opponents at the McDonald’s All-American game. That will be the case again on Friday, when Makeer is on Team Air and McDowell is on Team Flight.

Tipoff is at 4:00 pm ET from CareFirst Arena in Washington, DC. It can be streamed on the NBA App.

Current Gamecock Joyce Edwards was the game’s MVP last season. 

Both Makeer and McDowell had standout moments at the Nike Hoop Summit, which is typically more competitive than the other games. Makeer was used as a defensive specialist against Aaliyah Chavez, who is an elite scorer. Unofficially, Makeer only gave up three points to Chavez. She got it back a few possessions later when she nailed a spot-up three.

Makeer finished with five points, three rebounds, two steals, and a block. On the offensive end, she struggled against the stronger opponents.

McDowell was one of the stars of the game. She led Team World with 15 points and was the second-leading scorer in the game. McDowell had four rebounds, an assist, and a steal. She went 4-4 from the foul line and was 5-7 from the floor, including 1-2 from three.

McDowell also had 10 points and two assists in the McDonald’s All-American game. She went 2-2 from three. Makeer had seven points, four rebounds, three blocks, and two assists.
