Jan. 22’s matchup against the Gamecocks will (once again) go in one of those two directions.
Auburn could beat South Carolina, snapping the Tigers’ two game losing streak and giving a struggling offense something to build off of heading into Jan. 25’s SEC-Big 12 challenge, where Auburn will play Iowa State.
Auburn could also lose to South Carolina, extending the losing streak to three games and making Auburn fans even more nervous.
South Carolina is hard to judge. The Gamecocks won by double-digits at Virginia and have lost to Stetson and Boston University at home. South Carolina has also beat Kentucky and lost to Flolrida since conference play started.
