As the South Carolina Gamecocks prepare to face off against the Tennessee Volunteers at Thompson-Boling Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their winning momentum. The Gamecocks have been showing a strong performance in recent games, securing victories with a blend of solid defense and effective offense.

Their rebounding was particularly noteworthy as they grabbed 44 rebounds compared to Phoenix's 31.
The game against Winthrop Eagles was tighter but still ended in favor of South Carolina with a final score of 72-62. The team maintained a perfect free throw percentage while slightly improving their three-point shots to 23 percent. They also continued to dominate on the boards with 38 rebounds and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 18 points off them.
Their most recent match against Charleston Southern Buccaneers saw another close victory at 73-69. The Gamecocks excelled in two-point field goals hitting an outstanding rate of over half their attempts and were able to maintain control despite fewer steals and blocks than usual.
The upcoming game is expected to be challenging as Thompson-Boling Arena provides a formidable home-court advantage for the Volunteers. However, if South Carolina can maintain its high shooting percentages inside the paint and manage turnovers effectively while continuing its trend of strong rebounding, they could very well extend their winning streak.
