Kentucky vs South Carolina basketball game: How to watch, stream … – Courier Journal
Here is the information you need to know to watch, listen and follow along as Kentucky men’s basketball hosts South Carolina Tuesday.
The Wildcats sport a 10-5 (1-2 SEC) record after a blowout loss at Alabama over the weekend. But the Gamecocks (7-8, 0-2) figure to present an easier test for the Wildcats. USC is coming off a lopsided setback of its own: an 85-42 shellacking — at home — by Tennessee. It marked the largest margin of defeat for South Carolina in an SEC game since joining the league prior to the 1991-92 season.
Still, the Gamecocks possess talent: freshman forward GG Jackson averages 15.7 points per game, which ranks sixth in the conference. And senior guard Chico Carter Jr. is lethal from the outside, having connected on an SEC-best 50% (33-for-66) of his 3-point attempts this season.
