South Carolina Gamecocks
South Carolina started the season promisingly with three routes, including one over Wyoming in which it allowed just thirty-two points.

But since then South Carolina has been inconsistent at best. It lost in its own building to Boston University, got crushed by Wichita State on a neutral floor and followed it up the next day with a loss to Northern Iowa. Narrow wins against George Washington and UMass weren’t impressive.
Malik Kotsar was an important freshman on that team that went all the way to the Final Four and lost to Gonzaga in 2016 but he’s only averaging ten points per game as a senior, which is second on the team.
This game may not get over 100 until especially late.
Virginia Cavaliers
It’s no surprise by now that Virginia again leads the country in defense.
The Cavaliers have allowed 44.2 points per game through their first ten, way lower than Liberty, which is second in the nation with 50.2 points per to the opponent.
They allow a nation-best 32.1 opponent’s field goal percentage and keep the offense off the free throw line better than any team in the country. A defensive rating of 73.9 — that is to say points per 100 possessions — is the best in NCAA Division I.
But the offense, which averages just ninety points per possession, which doesn’t take pace into account, has room for improvement.
As good as Virginia’s defense is, the offense is nearly as bad. It’s ranked in the 300s in team field goal percentage and three-point percentage. Low turnover numbers do help.
What’s promising for UVA is that the defense will be there and defense wins championships. If its offense can grow and improve and avoid frustrations and setbacks throughout ACC season, Virginia stands a chance.
