How To Watch: South Carolina Vs. #6 Kentucky

South Carolina men's basketball program has a tough battle on their hands against the Kentucky Wildcats on Tuesday night.

Lamont Paris and the South Carolina Gamecocks overcame a bit of adversity this past weekend, traveling to and defeating Arkansas without starting wing Myles Stute. Not only were they able to get out to an early lead and maintain it, but they were able to fill the production void left by Stute as a collective unit. Everyone contributed in different ways, from incredible defense to season-high point totals and even season assists. Now, they direct their attention to the Kentucky Wildcats.

Kentucky is coming off the heels of a 105-point performance against Georgia this past Saturday in a game where seemingly no one could miss. The Wildcats also got their freshman phenom, Zvonimir Ivišić, back after the NCAA cleared him the afternoon preceding their matchup against the Bulldogs. In his first career collegiate game, Ivišić had 13 points, five rebounds, and three blocks in 16 minutes of play. Not only will South Carolina need to prepare for a 7-foot-2 giant in the paint, but he can also hit shots from behind the arc.

Zvonimir is one of Kentucky's many good players, with senior guard Antonio Reeves and forward Tre Mitchell also serving as notable standouts. Lamont Paris and company will have their work cut out for them Tuesday evening and need another total team effort on the defensive end; it certainly wouldn't hurt for Meechie Johnson to have one of those big game moments and BJ Mack to carryover his performance against Arkansas into Tuesday night.
