Western Kentucky at South Carolina

Western Kentucky has built a program that reigns supreme in the Sun Belt Conference. In recent years, they have stepped on the big stage and had their 15 minutes of fame. They lost their best player and Sun Belt Player of the Year and leader in Mendez-Valdez, and the struggle is apparent. The Hilltoppers lost to Indiana State and an LSU team that is down this year by double-digits. Their two wins over mediocre competition came by four points, and a single point. The Gamecocks surprised Florida and Kentucky twice last year, and have two players back that are NBA caliber in Downey and Archie who will be the best players on the court in this one. While the Hilltoppers search for answers, at this stage the Gamecocks have them, so I'll take them in this one.
