The point spread may have favored Auburn on Saturday, but the final result did not. They took a hard 81-65 fall against the Gators.
Meanwhile, winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 13 more assists than your opponent, a fact South Carolina proved on Saturday. They strolled past the Commodores with points to spare, taking the game 75-60.
Collin Murray-Boyles was nothing short of spectacular: he scored 31 points along with seven rebounds. As a matter of fact, that’s the most points he has scored all season. B.J. Mack was another key contributor, scoring 18 points along with six rebounds.
The Tigers’ loss dropped their record down to 19-5. As for the Gamecocks, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they’ve won eight of their last nine games, which provided a nice bump to their 21-3 record this season.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Auburn haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 10.5 turnovers per game. However, it’s not like South Carolina struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging only 10.3 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
