This one was very easy to call from the tip. It was predictable based on the previous two losses that came from the Tigers. They've had trouble playing down to opponents all season long, especially on the road, and they'll need to respond now.

The Tigers struggled from the start, and couldn't find themselves comfortably in control throughout the game. In the end, the difference was easily the lack of defense, especially in the clutch of this game. The defense they lacked led to the loss.

The Tigers have not been good on the road this season, and they've been even worse in rematches. This game proves pivotal towards March, and they cannot afford to let a rematch versus an inferior opponent stop them from getting to a top seed next month.

The Tigers blew out the Gamecocks from the start in all facets of the game. It wasn't very close in any regard, and it was a win they truly needed, coming off of an unfortunate upset to Arkansas on Saturday night. They'll look to keep the momentum going.

The Tigers had an up and down week, beating the No. 4 overall Crimson Tide, before being upset by unranked Arkansas. They'll take the slight improvement, yet will hope to move up even more this week, when they play a pair of unranked SEC teams.
