How To Watch: South Carolina vs. Vanderbilt
Behind the play of Hayden Brown and Jacobi Wright, the South Carolina Gamecocks battled back late against the Ole Miss Rebels to earn their first conference victory in nine tries this past weekend. Lamont Paris and his squad will now look to carry over the confidence and momentum from that win into tonight's game against the Vanderbilt Commodores, a team the Gamecocks fell to in overtime over five weeks ago.
The Gamecocks blew a chance to pull away late in their previous matchup, as Vanderbilt, through the play of forward Liam Robbins, went to work on the low block, getting multiple easy baskets and drawing a litany of fouls from South Carolina.
The Gamecocks will once again have to prioritize slowing down Robbins, which means Josh Gray, who's been significantly better since this last time out, will have to play nearly flawless basketball, at least on the defensive end.
One way the Gamecocks could catch the Commodores off-kilter is through their slow-paced offense, as they're facing a Vanderbilt defense that allows their opponents to shoot 43.9 percent from the floor. If GG Jackson can persist through what's happened to him emotionally in recent weeks, and Meechie Johnson and the rest of South Carolina's guards can maintain control of the basketball, then the Gamecocks stand a good chance of going from a losing streak to a winning streak heading into the home stretch of the regular season.
