South Carolina men's basketball team has made their own trip to the Tar Heel State today, as they're set to take on the East Carolina Pirates, looking to start a new winning streak after falling to Clemson earlier this week. Lamont Paris will need to make sure his team bounces back and responds well to their first loss of the season, and here are some keys to doing so:

Keys Of Success For South Carolina

  • Limit RJ Felton - Felton is a do-it-all guard for East Carolina, and the Gamecocks will need to limit his success this afternoon. Felton leads the Pirates in points (16.3), steals (2), and blocks (.7) per game.
  • Paint Defense - Coming off a game where the Gamecocks gave up 30 points in the paint and 16 second-chance points, they'll need to be much better today.
  • Consistent Scorers - Meechie Johnson has been as consistent as you could hope for the past couple of games, but the Gamecocks have only had a little consistency elsewhere; they will need more consistency today.
