Tramon Mark - Scores 18, pulls down six boards Mark supplied 18 points (6-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 84-75 victory over South Carolina.
Impact Mark had been held to a combined eight points in his two previous games. While he was not very efficient against the Gamecocks, he did sink a 3-pointer for the first time in three games and got to the free throw line. The 6-5 senior has scored 18 points or more six times in conference play. The Longhorns will go for their third straight win Saturday against Mississippi. Mark was held to six points in the loss to the Rebels last season.

Impact Johnson has been on a scoring jag with 22.6 points over his last seven games. His best efforts have not helped the Gamecocks win and they have only claimed victory once in that span. The 6-2 junior has also provided 5.0 assists over the seven-game span. South Carolina takes on Missouri on Saturday. In two games against the Tigers in 2024-25, Johnson averaged 2.5 points on 2-of-15 (13.3 percent) from the field.

Elijah Strong - Scores 12 off bench Strong recorded 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one block across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 84-75 loss to Texas.
Impact Strong had started the previous 10 games, but played 17 minutes off the bench in the loss. He had his second straight 12-point game. The 6-8 junior was replaced in the starting lineup by EJ Walker, but that might be a one-game trial. He might have played more but ran into foul trouble. The Gamecocks host Missouri on Saturday.
