South Carolina Gamecocks

Last time out, South Carolina took a trip to Florida and suffered an 81-60 loss. This game was over before it started as Florida took an early lead and built an eight-point advantage into the half. Not much changed in the second half as the Gators dominated the second half and had a no sweat final 20 minutes. South Carolina trailed by as many as 30 points, never led in the game, and could not cover the +15.5-point spread.

Gregory Jackson Jr. had 20 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one block on the night. Josh Gray came off the bench and added 11 points, 13 rebounds, and one block in the defeat.

Through 20 games, South Carolina is scoring 63.6 points per game, shooting 39.5% from the field, and assisting on 10.5 made shots. The Gamecocks are allowing 73.1 points, grabbing 35.0 rebounds, blocking 2.9 shots, and stealing the ball 4.9 times.

Georgia Bulldogs

Georgia visited the fourth-ranked Tennessee Volunteers and left with an embarrassing 70-41 defeat. Surprisingly, this game was close for the first 10 minutes, but the Vols went on a big run and ended the first half leading by 13 points. It was much of the same in the second half as the Bulldogs were completely noncompetitive on the night. Georgia trailed by as many as 31 points, never led by more than four, and could not cover the +16.5-point spread.

Terry Roberts had 11 points, five rebounds, two assists, and one steal in the game. Justin Hill added eight points, three rebounds, three assists, and two steals in the loss.

After 20 games, Georgia is scoring 69.6 points per game, shooting 41.9% from the field, and assisting on 11.7 made shots. The Bulldogs are allowing 66.3 points, grabbing 38.7 rebounds, blocking 3.0 shots, and stealing the ball 6.4 times.
