The team also demonstrated solid defense with six blocks and seven steals while maintaining discipline as evidenced by only nine personal fouls. Their ball movement was fluid, resulting in 19 assists compared to just three turnovers – an exceptional assist-to-turnover ratio that speaks volumes about their playmaking abilities.


In another recent game against Notre Dame's Fighting Irish, the Gamecocks emerged victorious once again with a scoreline reflecting their defensive prowess; they held the Irish to just 53 points while scoring 65 themselves. Despite shooting less effectively from three-point range in this game (28 percent), they made up for it at the free-throw line with a high conversion rate of approximately 77 percent.


These trends suggest that South Carolina is finding its rhythm both offensively and defensively as they head into what promises to be a challenging environment at Littlejohn Coliseum. The venue is known for its intense atmosphere which could influence both teams' performances; however, if recent games are any indication, the Gamecocks have shown resilience and adaptability on court.
