BETTING LINE Arkansas is a 9-point favorite.
NOTABLE Arkansas sophomore guard Isaiah Joe, averaging 16.8 points, is questionable to play on Wednesday night after he missed last Saturday’s game against TCU because of knee inflammation. Coach Eric Musselman described Joe as being “day to day.” If Joe plays, he’ll likely be back in the starting lineup … The Razorbacks are averaging 8.5 turnovers in six SEC games and had a turnover ratio of plus-6.0 … Arkansas is 11-1 in Walton Arena this season with the lone loss to Kentucky … South Carolina beat Kentucky at home … The Gamecocks are 4-2 on the road, including victories at Virginia, Clemson, Texas A&M and Massachusetts. Their road losses are at Tennessee and Auburn … South Carolina hit 10 of 15 three-pointers in a 77-65 victory over Arkansas last season — including 4 of 5 by sophomore guard AJ Lawson — but this season the Razorbacks lead the nation in three-point defense at 24.3% (81 of 333) … Arkansas hit a three-point basket for the 1,000th consecutive game at South Carolina last season. The Razorbacks’ streak is now at 1,030 games … Arkansas sophomore forward Reggie Chaney has hit 30 of 40 shots … Freshman guard Jermain Cousinard is averaging 16.2 points in SEC games to lead the Gamecocks … Arkansas is 11-4 against South Carolina in Fayetteville .. The Gamecocks’ last victory in Walton Arena was 76-61 in 2016 … In the second half of all games this season the Razorbacks have hit 80.7% of their free throws (188 of 233) … Arkansas sophomore guard Desi Sills scored 18 points off the bench against TCU.
