Scouting Report
LSU (18-8, 9-4 SEC) fell to Kentucky 79-76 on Tuesday night in Baton Rouge. Immanuel Quickley led the Cats with 21 points while Skylar Mays topped the Tigers with 17 points. Kentucky outshot the Tigers in all 3 phases of the game but LSU’s rebounding edge (45-33) helped keep the score close.
LSU averages 80.7 points per game, second in the SEC. The Tigers are allowing opponents 73.0 points per contest, 11th in the league. LSU as a team shoots 47.3% from the field, 31.5% from 3-point range, and 77.2% from the line. Skylar Mays leads the Tigers in scoring averaging 16.5 points per game. Darius Days paces the Tigers in rebounding averaging 7.5 boards a game.
South Carolina (16-10, 8-5 SEC) fell to Mississippi State 79-76 on Wednesday night in Starkville. The Gamecocks trailed by eight with 30 seconds remaining and then were only one down with seven seconds to go but came up short. State 28-of-36 made free throws likely proved to be the difference in this one. The Gamecocks 23% (4/17) shooting from 3-point range didn’t help the visitor’s cause either.
AJ Lawson leads the Gamecocks in scoring averaging 13.7 points per game. Maik Kotsar pulls down a team leading 6.5 rebounds a game. South Carolina as a team averages 71.5 points per game while allowing opponents 66.8 points per contest. For the season, Carolina is making 43.9% from the field, 31.3% from 3-point range and 61.9% from the line.
LSU’s luck has been catching up with them. Now they head to a very hostile venue at South Carolina, home of a team that has won eight of its last 11.
