Winless in SC South Carolina Visits No. 3 Florida – Wruf

Gamecocks in South Carolina play # 3 in Florida Gators at 8:30 pm on Saturday in the center of O’Connell.

This is a sold match of SEC that matters a lot for every team to win. Gators (21-3, 8-3 seconds) that are without starting ahead Alex Condon (dislocated ankle), play to stay in the top three of the SEC ranking. Gamecocks (10-14, 0-11) are looking for their first victory in the conference this season.

The last time outside

The game on January 22 in Colombia was reduced to the wire, to the last game, when Guard Will Richards put on a 4.8 second to the left for the winning basket. Gators had to be collected from a two -digit deficit in the second half. Defense efforts and determination for the insult allowed Gators to go to the top.

This season

Gators’ resistance shows again and again that they can do it. Gators managed to defeat No. 22 in Mississippi, 81-68, in Starkil on Tuesday without Condon and Guard Alia Martin (injury to the hip joint).

Florida is 11-1 at home and with the support of Gators fans seems to expand her winning series to four games. Thomas Hau is expected to start at Condon’s place. There is still no word in Martin’s availability.

On the other hand, Gamecocks were not lucky in the conference game this season. Their close victory came against Gators, and even with a home advantage, they failed to keep their lead to lose one point.

In the last 10 games between Gators and Gamecocks, it has traveled 5-5. Gamecocks have shown that they can win in O-Dome. In the last three games in Gainesville, Gamecocks won two, including when the struggling team of South Carolina delivered the 22nd Gators 72-66 loss in the center of O’Connell in 2021.
