Myles Stute, Mike Sharavjamts guide South Carolina past South Carolina State 95-70

Myles Stute and Mike Sharavjamts both scored 15 points to propel South Carolina to a 95-70 victory over South Carolina State

2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Mike Sharavjamts - Adds 15 points to win Sharavjamts totaled 15 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Monday's 95-70 victory over South Carolina State.

Impact The 6-9 senior had his third straight game of at least 13 points. He fell two points shy of his season high. Over his last six games, Sharavjamts has converted 56.5 percent of his field goals for 12.2 points and 6.2 rebounds. The Gamecocks take on Albany on Dec. 30 before SEC play starts in the New Year.

Myles Stute - Scores season-high 15 Stute amassed 15 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Monday's 95-70 victory over South Carolina State.

Impact Stute returned to the starting lineup on Dec. 13 after missing three games with a concussion. He had scored a combined 10 points in his two previous starts. The 6-7 senior had his best game from long distance. He had been struggling from 3-point land and is converting just 27.9 percent of his treys. Maybe Monday's performance will be the start of a long-distance renaissance for Stute.

Eli Ellis - Scores nine points in return Ellis (ankle) closed Monday's 95-70 victory over South Carolina State with nine points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 20 minutes.

Impact Ellis returned from a one-game absence due to a sprained left ankle, and while he came off the bench, he looked productive in his 20-minute cameo. If he stays healthy, Ellis should remain a valuable piece in the Gamecocks' rotation moving forward.

Nordin Kapic - Won't play Monday Kapic (undisclosed) isn't in uniform for Monday's game against South Carolina State, Jack Veltri of On3 Sports reports.

Impact Kapic had dealt with a thigh injury earlier in December, but it's unclear if Monday's absence is related to the issue. The senior has appeared in 10 games this season, averaging 3.9 points and 2.1 rebounds across 9.2 minutes. His next chance to play will come Dec. 30 against Albany.

Eli Ellis - Going through warmups Ellis (ankle) is participating in pregame warmups ahead of Monday's game against South Carolina State, Jack Veltri of On3 Sports reports.

Impact It's an encouraging sign for the freshman's availability against SC State, as Ellis had been spotted wearing a walking boot before the Gamecocks' most recent contest. Ellis has missed one game due to a sprained left ankle. He's averaging 10.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 28.0 minutes in 10 games this season -- all coming off the bench.

Women's College Basketball Top 10, Bubble Team NET Rankings: Texas Chases UConn

Elijah Strong - Struggles in return Strong (knee) ended with four points (1-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound and two assists across 10 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 68-61 loss to Clemson.

Impact Strong, who left Saturday's game against Citadel with a knee injury, connected on 1-of-6 looks from the field in his return to action Tuesday night. The 6-foot-8 junior transfer from Boston College has appeared in all 11 games this season, averaging 9.5 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists on 15.5 minutes per game. Strong and the Gamecocks will look to get back on track Monday against SC State.

DECEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Christ Essandoko - Snags seven boards Essandoko accumulated eight points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), a season-high seven rebounds and one assist across 16 minutes during Tuesday's 68-61 loss to Clemson.

Impact The 7-0 Frenchman joined the starting line three games ago and has averaged 4.3 points and 4.0 rebounds as a starter. Despite his height, Essandoko has only blocked one shot this season. If he stays in the starting lineup, the junior's minutes should increase. He may have an impact against South Carolina State on Monday.

DECEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Kobe Knox - Scores 13 in loss Knox produced 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 68-61 loss to Clemson.

Impact The 6-5 senior scored in double digits for the fifth time this season and third in his last four games. He has struggled from long range and is converting just 24.2 percent of his 3-pointers. Knox has not hit more than one 3-pointers since the opener. He was perfect from within the arc against the Tigers and is converting 46.5 percent of his field goals for 9.6 points.

DECEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Eli Ellis - Day-to-day Ellis (ankle) sat out during Tuesday's 68-61 loss against Clemson with a left ankle sprain.

Impact Ellis, who was spotted in a walking boot during warmups, remains day-to-day with an ankle injury after sitting out against the Tigers. The 6-foot freshman has appeared in 10 games this season, averaging 10.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 steals across 28 minutes per game off the bench. Ellis's next chance to suit up will come against SC State on Monday, but his expected status remains unknown at this time.

DECEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Eli Ellis - Spotted in walking boot Ellis was seen wearing a walking boot ahead of Tuesday's game against Clemson, Jackson Castellano of The State Newspaper reports.

Impact Ellis has played 22 or more minutes in each of his appearances this season despite having yet to start a contest. The freshman is averaging 10.2 points, 2.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 28.0 minutes. Specifics regarding the injury are unknown, but Ellis's next chance to play will come Monday against South Carolina State.

Elijah Strong - Suffers knee injury Strong (knee) exited Saturday's contest early due to a knee injury, per David Cloninger of PostandCourier.com.

Impact Strong suffered the injury just before halftime, exiting the game while favoring his left knee. The 6-foot-8 forward has been an impact player for the Gamecocks this season, averaging 10.1 points in just 16 minutes per game across 10 contests. The details and severity of the injury are thus far unknown, so he can be looked at as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Clemson.

DECEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Meechie Johnson - Scores 19 in win Johnson supplied 19 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Saturday's 71-55 win over Citadel.

Impact Since being held to four points in the win over Charleston Southern, Johnson has averaged 18.0 points on 67.9 percent from the field over his last three games. He leads the Gamecocks with 15.5 points and 3.3 assists. Johnson scored 26 points against Clemson, South Carolina's opponent on Tuesday, in the 2023-24 season.

DECEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Mike Sharavjamts - Puts up 14 points, seven boards Sharavjamts ended Saturday's 71-55 victory over Citadel with 14 points (6-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 33 minutes.

Impact The 6-9 senior scored in double digits for the seventh time this season, but he has only topped 14 points once. He is a consistent source of boards and is averaging 6.6 rebounds to go along with 11.6 points on 52.6 percent from the field and 2.5 assists. The Gamecocks take on Clemson on Tuesday for the pride of South Carolina.
