As the South Carolina Gamecocks prepare to host the Presbyterian Blue Hose at Colonial Life Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their impressive performance from the previous season.

Last season's statistics reveal that South Carolina averaged 80 points per game with significant contributions across the board. Their average of nearly 17 assists per game is indicative of strong teamwork and ball distribution, which will be crucial against Presbyterian's defense. The Gamecocks also excelled in rebounding, averaging almost 45 rebounds per game – a testament to their control over both ends of the court.


Defensively, South Carolina was just as formidable. With an average of nearly 9 blocks and over 6 steals per game, they've proven their ability to disrupt opponents' offenses effectively. However, they'll need to maintain discipline as they averaged about 15 personal fouls per game last season.


Turnovers were kept relatively low at an average of just over 12 per game; maintaining possession will be key in dictating the pace against Presbyterian. While three-point shots may not have been their strongest suit last season with an average of around four made three-pointers per game, it’s clear that their strategy leans heavily on inside scoring and defense.


The upcoming match promises excitement for fans who can expect South Carolina to leverage these strengths on home turf where crowd support could provide an additional edge.


Mark your calendars for March 22nd when the action unfolds at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia starting at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. Fans won't want to miss this clash which will be broadcasted live on ESPN – witness whether South Carolina can uphold its legacy and start this season off with a victory!
