For weeks, South Carolina coach Chad Holbrook has said there is plenty of time remaining for the Gamecocks to turn this season around and earn key series wins.

South Carolina enters the rubber match with Kentucky searching for its first marquee series win of the season.
The Gamecocks have had plenty of chances throughout the first two-and-a-half months of the season, but their SEC series wins to date are against the No. 12 team in the SEC —Tennessee — and the last place team in the conference — Alabama.
