Boarding and board upload
The bounce is a force for Texas A&M as they are third in SEC with an average of 42.0 RPG. Gamecocks are not bad, with 36.0 RPG clip, but it’s closer to the 16th in SEC than for the AGGIES brand. The agias break the offensive glass more special. Their marking of 16.7 offensive struggles is the top in the country and have three players an average of over 2.5 offensive struggles per game.
Colin Murray-Boys and Nick Pringle have a protective rate of rebound over 20.0%, which is good for the potential denial of the magic of agias. That is, if they can remain out of trouble. Texas A&M is one of only three SEC teams trying to be more free games on a South Carolina game.
Getting a quick start is of paramount importance. In all three South Carolina victories over Power Five’s competition, Gamecocks had a 10-point lead at some point in the first half (fun fact: South Carolina has more wins in ACC from NC State, Boston College and Miami).

The advantage of home field can play a factor in the end result
Despite the 0-8 record in SEC games, Gamecocks are competitive with the Colonial Life Arena. In their last three home games in SEC, they have only been surpassed by nine points. All three of these loved ones also turned out to be against the ranked teams.
Entering Friday night, Gamecocks are indicated as only +5.5 points. Despite the 1-5 road record, they are 8-5 at home this season. In addition, several Gamecocks are more effective at home than on the road.
The percentage of Murray Boles turnover drops from 29.4% on the road to 13.4% in colonial life. 3PT% of Jacobi Wright increased from 25.0% to 37.0%. The percentage of Zahari Davis theft is almost doubled from road games (1.5%) to home matches (2.9%). Morris Ugusuk is an exception, with TS% of 76.1% on the road and 44.0% at home. Here’s the hope he scored 25 points in the RUP against Kentucky.
In front of a crowd, probably eager to see Gamecocks’ record victory Numero Uno Against the agias, South Carolina can use a friendly environment to his advantage.
Maintaining control of the ball is a must
The Achilles Fifth of Basketball in South Carolina, if an observer had to choose only one, is a turnover. The Gamecocks crime has provided opportunities with a high percentage of the close loss of Praun. Despite the average season of 13.1 turnover per game, South Carolina is an average of 18.6 per game in its last five competitions. Is this bad? If he had been extrapolated during the season, he would have qualified for a dead 364 di basketball team.
South Carolina’s shooting during this period is not too far from the average for their season. But due to the lack of opportunities provided by the volatile ball, Gamecocks do not receive the same number of shots. After an average of 75.6 PPG in non -conference games, this brand is up to 62.8 PPG against SEC competition.
If this team can take care of basketball, the insult has a chance to get into a rhythm and make shots. But if the troubles of turnover continue, there is no way Gamecocks can achieve their offensive goals.
