KY overachieving. SC underachieving. Big game for both. Does SC play madder than a wet hen? Chances are they will bounce back, but I would not be surprised to see a close game taken by KY at the end.

On TV: SECHD DTV 611
 
No idea what to make of SC at this point. On paper, they should sail, but that's why you play the games...I'd be surprised if Kentucky keeps it to within a 10 point loss, but the SEC has surprised me all year so what do I know?!
 
I'm with @ericsandiego

I thought South Carolina should have beat Tennessee handily and they probably would have not Aja Wilson in foul trouble and poor officiating!

If it's up to the teams and coaching I'd go with South Carolina. If SEC officials have anything to do with it then Kentucky in a close ugly game.

Final thought:: who knows!!

I feel a bit sorry for kentucky---USC and Dawn are probably really upset enough to be angry and need to take their anger and need for a big win out on kentucky. If they don't --will there be any respect left for USC??

Wow --really?? You think Kentuck can actually take on a giant of a team like USC, with all that Transfer talent? Is there no respect left for USC?? You know that "overachieving ' word could be use for Uconn too. (Based on the beliefs in November)
 
So Carolina's power up front will handle Ky's smaller lineup. Don't think Ky play's enough defense to stop So Carolina. So Carolina also has the guards to handle Ky's guards. Easy double digit win for South Carolina. No Way So Carolina loses two games in a row.
 
Game is @ Kentucky, so that should help them. Not sure if it will be enough though. You never know what you're gonna get with these two teams.
 
I don't think Kentucky is overachieving and I wouldn't say South Carolina is underachieving. I would actually say both are par for the course. Both are running the same old stuff just with different players.... why would you expect any different results when all is said and done? I was hopeful that SCar would adapt to the new talent but that hasn't happened. South Carolina will win maybe they will put up big numbers for the night but then the next game they will fall back down to earth scoring in the mid 70s to low 80s most likely. At this stage in the season zebras don't change their stripes. Be very wary....

If South Carolina beats UConn they will have plenty of respect.

In Columbia if they should be so lucky as to beat Uconn at home --Columbia will go mad--but at the end of the year assuming neither loses another game --Uconn still will be ahead in the rankings--and seeding should be better for Uconn. Many Uconn fans have had respect for Dawn and her team.

SC will pound the ball inside against the smaller Wildcats making for one ugly basketball game with lots of fouls which the Gamecocks should win in a low-scoring, close contest.

I was wondering if kentucky had any bigs to minimize Wilson or Coate's--With out that???? Small fast
agressive s have had success--but USC --has to have their guards fail completely. I'll wait for the out come without a prediction--interesting.

Kentucky has a pair of bigs that can compete with SC. Evelyn Akhator former JUCO POY is averaging a Double Double 15PPG and 10 RPG and is likely a WNBA draft pick.
There is also Alyssa Rice a former McDonalds AA. Rice is not having a very good year but she is capable.

What's not going to happen--IF or the seeding at the end of the year? IF's happens or not.
But I accept that Uconn SHOULD win at home--but I am never certain whether our SMALL bigs can control USC"s BIG bigs. Apparently, from all I have read, fouls tend to follow the USC team. Fouls are one half of the weakness of this UConn team--. The heretic that I am--I won't take UConn or USC even with 10 points for that game. I'll wait and see.

I appreciate the input---thank you. Sound more competitive than I expected.

I ... there's the question matey! Comes off better with an eye patch and a gravely voice.

I am going to say South Carolina will win this one. Kentucky can't seem to close the game out against South Carolina. I think it's safe to say, South Carolina has Kentucky's number.

Not really. Kentucky was the last SEC team to beat South Carolina before Monday's game. That was one of only 3 losses that SC suffered in the 2014-15 season.
 
I guess the question has been answered for this game. The other question is if we've been woken up to the need to play hard for 40 minutes every game.

I guess the _ who shall win_ has been answered USC 57 -K 32
It would appear USC was awakened properly for this game. It looks like they are fully awake against Kentucky. I hope they go back and take their nap during the UConn game --and allow Geno to awaken them after the game.
 
Not a very compelling game to watch, but the score is pretty much as I expected. I don't know what the question is, but I know Kentucky is not the answer.
