USC controls their fate as it is simple...just win. The road to finish first in the East goes through Nashville tonight with a 9pm tipoff. South Carolina (20-6, 9-4 SEC) take on the Commodores who has a 16-11 overall record, including a 5-8 mark in SEC play.
Carolina holds a slight 22-21 edge in the all-time series between the two schools. The Commodores hold a 12-9 edge in games played in Nashville.
The gamecocks must contain the Vandy center who has stepped up his play recently. They can not allow A.J. Ogilvy to have a big game tonight. The gamecocks must box him out and I hope to see just as many blocks in this game like the cocks had in the UK win. The gamecocks must avoid foul trouble, limit TOs and play both good interior D and perimeter D. USC must keep the Vandy duo of Jermain Beal and Jeff Taylor in check also and not let them get hot from beyond the arch.
For the gamecocks on offense they must continue what they have done all season. Play as a unit, distribute the scoring load, make some 3's and create opportunities by playing high energy D.
