South Carolina will be eager to get back on the court for the first time since Dec. 22 when it blew out Army in a 105-75 final. The Gamecocks had four double-digit scorers in that win, led by freshman guard Devin Carter’s 22 points off the bench. Junior guard Chico Carter Jr. added 20 points, knocking down all three of his 3-point attempts.
The Gamecocks were scheduled to wrap up the 2021 portion of their season with a contest against South Carolina State last Wednesday, but that game was postponed due to COVID-19 issues. Junior guard Jermaine Couisnard leads the team with 11.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per game. South Carolina is on a seven-game home winning streak and has covered the spread in four of its last five games overall.

Forward Walker Kessler led the way for Auburn, nearly tallying a triple-double with 16 points, 11 blocks and nine rebounds. Kessler has been a fantastic presence on the defensive end this season, blocking 55 shots in just 13 games.
