How To Watch: South Carolina at Kentucky

South Carolina's men's basketball team will look to end their conference losing streak as they take on the Kentucky Wildcats later tonight.

In their last time out, the South Carolina Gamecocks suffered a record-breaking loss to the Tennessee Volunteers, a team that some consider the best in the SEC. It was their worst conference loss since joining the SEC back in 1992 and the worst loss in the Colonial Life Arena since 2007. 

Now, the Gamecocks have to travel on the road and take on the John Calipari lead Kentucky Wildcats, who might be in the midst of a down year compared to program expectations but are still widely considered to be one of the most talented teams in all of college basketball.

The Wildcats are led by guard Sahvir Wheeler, who is on track to lead the SEC in assists per game for the third straight season, currently averaging 6.6 assists per contest. South Carolina will need a much better collective effort from its core players to compete in an arena where the Gamecocks historically haven't faired too well, as only Meechie Johnson reached double figures in their last outing against Tennessee.

The Gamecocks' frontcourt will also need to account for veteran big man Oscar Tshiebwe, who's an absolute menace on the glass, averaging 13.2 rebounds per game. It will be important for Benjamin Bosmans-Verdonk, Josh Gray, and Hayden Brown to remain out of foul trouble, something that's been a reoccurring issue for the group so far this season.
