South Carolina looks to be an okay team, they're inefficient but can put up some points. #74 Kenpom. Defensive rebounding will be key as these guys are going to jack up a lot of 3s.

X is rounding into form - top 10 nationally in free throw percentage, assists/game (2nd), and fast break points/game. This week we'll see if it's legit. Interior play needs to be better, getting stuffed 11 times by freaking Siena was not a good look, even if it didn't matter much in the final score.

Are perimeter defense on 3's will need to be improve as well as handling their bigs inside. Hopefully, Hughley will be in shape by the BE tourney.

SC has a skilled, thick power forward and a tall center. I expect Hugley to play a bigger role. They have good guards, but not a deep bench. That's probably a big reason why they play with the pace of Nova. Like Wake, I expect X to help in the post. If the bigs, especially Free, stay out of foul trouble and hold their own on the glass, I expect an 8-point win.

This expert analysis is based on 9 minutes of watching SC play this yr, backed up by their stats.

Those two fouls especially the second were bad of Free. We just have the bigs.

They need to play zone.

4 minutes plus without a point but 4 fouls on our big guys. NOT Good

Here's a thought. They cannot handle their PF, and SC does not shoot well from the outside. Zone??????

Also, Hugely is making me think something I thought I never would. I miss Ousame.

Too many fouls not enough threes. Swain needs to step up

Swain? There is no scenario where I see Swain needing to step up offensively. The shots will fall.
