In their last outing against the Clemson Tigers at Littlejohn Coliseum, the Gamecocks secured a resounding victory with 85 points to Clemson's 31. Their scoring was consistent across all quarters, and they exhibited remarkable efficiency from both two-point (59 percent) and three-point range (58 percent). Dominating the paint with 46 points and capitalizing on turnovers for 35 points underscored their aggressive playstyle.


The game prior saw them facing off against Maryland Terrapins where they again emerged victorious with an 81-56 scoreline. The team maintained a strong two-point shooting percentage of 55 percent while also excelling from the free-throw line (81 percent). Their rebounding was particularly noteworthy as they grabbed an impressive total of 55 rebounds.


Their most dominant performance came against East Tennessee State Buccaneers at Colonial Life Arena, where they eclipsed the century mark by putting up a staggering 101 points while limiting ETSU to just 31. This game highlighted their ability to control both ends of the court, achieving a high field goal percentage of approximately 53 percent and out-rebounding their opponents significantly.


These trends suggest that South Carolina is entering Maples Pavilion not only with momentum but also with confidence in their ability to execute on both sides of the ball. While playing away from home can present its challenges, if past performances are any indication, fans can expect another strong showing from this formidable squad.


The upcoming clash is scheduled for November 20th at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, California. Fans eager to catch every moment can tune into ABC for national television coverage starting at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.
