The sophomore guard scored 12 points in 21 minutes against Missouri Tigers. His presence on the floor during the final moments of the game shows how much trust coach Martin still has in the Villanova transfer. His control of the floor and playmaking ability, coming off the bench, was something the team lacked in their starting back-court.Expect Mr. Quinerly to have a very productive game coming into Tuesday's match when the Alabama Crimson Tide travel to Columbia, South Carolina.Alabama Crimson Tide Predicted LineupF John Petty Jr., F Jaden Shackelford, G Joshua Primo, G Herbert Jones, G Alex ReeseSouth Carolina Gamecocks Preview🔒 #Gamecocks🐔🏀 // #BeatBulldogs pic.twitter.com/29quVPe0BT— Gamecock MBB (@GamecockMBB) February 6, 2021The South Carolina Gamecocks will really need to lock-in if they want to pull off this upset. What's been the most frustrating issue for this team is that they've had to deal with so many cancellations/postponements to their games, especially in the early phase of the season. The team had cancelations and postponments right at the start of their season, making it difficult for the players on the roster to build that chemistry. Fast forward to now -- the team ranks near the bottom of SEC standings at No. 11.But, despite all of that, South Carolina Gamecocks 72-66 win against Florida, before the recent loss to Mississippi St., was encouraging. The team's win over the nations No. 22 ranked team in the country was something coach Martin will need to review if he wants to do the same against the Alabama Crimson Tide.FINAL | Mississippi State wins, 75-59. #Gamecocks remain home and face No. 10 Alabama (15-5, 10-1 SEC) Tuesday night at 6:30 ET on the SEC Network.— Gamecock MBB (@GamecockMBB) February 6, 2021Key Player -- AJ LawsonIntroducing you to the 47th member in program history of the 1️⃣,0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣-point club, Mr. AJ Lawson. 🇨🇦 ⚡️#Gamecocks // #ForeverToThee pic.twitter.com/qVeumx5DPt— Gamecock MBB (@GamecockMBB) February 6, 2021The South Carolina Gamecocks guard is averaging 17.3 points and 4.6 assist for the season.
