The South Carolina Gamecocks and the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers meet in college basketball action from the HTC Center on Wednesday night.
The South Carolina Gamecocks will be out to add to a 65-58 win over Rider in their last game. Jermaine Couisnard has 13.5 PPg with 3.7 RPG while Erik Stevenson has 13.3 PPG and 4.7 RPG as well this season. Wilden Leveque has 10.3 PPG and a team-high 7.3 RPG as well to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for South Carolina as the Gamecocks’ top rebounder. James Reese V also has 9.8 PPG and a team-high 2.5 APG and Devin Carter’s got 8.8 PPG for South Carolina this season. As a team, South Carolina is averaging 71.8 PPG on 43.2% shooting from the field, 32.8% from three and 66.7% from the foul line while allowing 64.2 PPG on 41.3% shooting from the field and 32.9% from three this season.
The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers will look to bounce back from a 79-70 loss at the hands of Toledo last time out. Essam Mostafa leads the Chanticleers in scoring and rebounding, averaging 18.5 PPG and 10.5 RPG while Rudi Williams has 13.5 PPG and 3.3 APG and Vince Cole’s got 10 PPG as well this season to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for South Carolina so far this season. Ebrima Dibba also has 8 PPG with 6.3 RPG and a team-high 5.5 APG as well this season. As a team, Coastal Carolina is averaging 72 PPG on 42.2% shooting from the field, 27.2% from three and 62.7% from the foul line while allowing 69.5 PPG on 41.3% shooting from the field and 32.4% from three this season.
South Carolina is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a win while the over is 20-8-1 in their last 29 road games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Coastal Carolina is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a loss while the under is 8-2 in their last 10 games following an ATS loss.
This is interesting as you have a team in South Carolina playing their first true road game of the year while Coastal has only had one true home game and it was against a subdivision opponent. I think this just boils down to the fact that South Carolina’s played the tougher schedule up to this point and I think that the Gamecocks win this game by double digits.
