Absolutely HAVE to get off to a good start and get a decent lead. Cannot let them take a lead or keep it close and get confidence

Yep, hit em early

They can't keep allowing the loss to Arkansas affect their future play on the court.

I haven’t watched any of SC this year but they have played people close according to the final scores. You KNOW they are going to want a win..

UK better show the effort or more furniture is in trouble.

 

[Skyguyb27]

So we will only lose by 8 then. Kidding……kind of.

The score app, which is usually pretty accurate has Butler listed as GTD(Game time decision) instead of out. Carr is not listed on the report which means he’s available to play. Kerr is listed as out ofcourse, but I wonder if Butler will try and play some

Interesting, to say the least. I follow that app too.

Give me the points

Auburn and Florida both barely beat this team

I may take the Cocks and the points. Wouldn't surprise me if it were an 7 or 8 point game.

 

[FirewithFire]

So, the same as Arkansas. Great. I just wonder how many step back no look threes they can hit.

 

[ukfan041]

Seems way too generous

 

[westerncat]

UK has to stop these slow starts , letting the opponent's getting 8-10 lead in the first half.

 

[jbne222]

I’d take a 1 point win if you offered it to me. Escape and hope you get Butler back for Tennessee at home in a packed Rupp

Those games were at SC. This team has 35 point, 20 point and 11 point road losses n conference play. To be fair, they did only lose by 3 at vandy.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

The Cats better not play soft this game because we know the Cocks are…

We played decent in the first half against Arkansas it was 46-45. Just played a bad second half. Usually we play well second half.

I got a feeling SC is in trouble tomorrow

 

[HenryMuto]

Our NET has fallen from 10 to 24 in the last 2 games and now back up to 22 but if we don't get a decent size win or play well vs South Carolina it can drop farther.

NET is the end all be all but it is really going to be tough to get a high seed with a crappy NET despite all those nice quad 1A wins

We have to trust the coach's decision, but I would rather he wait another game if it increases the chances that he would be good for the rest of the season.

Now Robinson is GTD, must be dealing with something. We can’t really afford to lose this game at home to USC.

I know it is unfair, but I am starting to think this team is soft as butter. If Butler nor Robinson play, this team could get smoked tomorrow.

 

[crawfords corner]

They have 5 players with 20 point games. 4 of them have done it at least twice.

There's a joke there somewhere 😊

All their home games have been close. Road games not so much.

But they are another physical team, which is not good for us. And we are still probably without Butler. Could even be without Robinson or have him limited. And I honestly think we will only have Carr at 80-90% the rest of the season.

So 11.5 might be high.

 

[UKAlum84]

Not so secret weapon, I think we need to zone defense to keep our offensive energy up.

UK has probably failed to cover the 1H line in 90% or more of the games this year (Tennessee probably the exception).

 

[Jamal Mercer]

I have made a decent chunk of money betting against us over the last few games (never caring if I lose because I’d rather we win).

Today is no different, riding the wave. I’ll take the Gamecocks +10.5 and I still hope it’s a “get right” game and we win by 25.
