South Carolina Gamecock team news & key performers
As a unit, Florida boasts the third-best field goal percentage in the SEC, shooting 47% from the floor, while South Carolina sits just behind at 46.7%.
The Gamecocks' frontcourt trio of Sania Feagin, Chloe Kitts, and Joyce Edwards struggled to handle Texas' size in their last outing. On Thursday, they'll face another tall task in Ra Shaya Kyle, a 6ft 6in center who is averaging 15 points and 9.3 rebounds per game.
Kyle is coming off a 15-point, seven-rebound performance and has been a dominant force on the glass, recording 12 double-doubles this season. She currently ranks fourth in the SEC in rebounds per game, making her a key figure in the paint battle.
Florida Gators team news & key performers
Freshman guard Liv McGill has been the driving force for the Gators, leading the team with 16.4 points per game, while also contributing 4.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists. Her scoring average ranks 13th in the conference, underscoring her impact on the floor.
In the recent loss to Alabama, McGill stuffed the stat sheet with 22 points, six rebounds, and six assists, knocking down 2-of-6 from three-point range. On the season, she’s connecting on 34.3% of her shots from beyond the arc.
Whoever gets the defensive assignment—whether it's Raven Johnson or Bree Hall—will need to be locked in, as McGill serves as the engine of Florida's offense.
