Jacoby Hill - Produces season-high points in win Hill closed Monday's 78-67 victory over Western Kentucky with 14 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 39 minutes.
Impact Hill hasn't been a go-to scorer so far this season for the Gamecocks, but he came up big when needed in the win over the Hilltoppers. Not only did he shoot 75 percent from the field, but he also nailed seven of nine FTAs. The freshman guard should remain a meaningful rotator for the rest of the season, which starts at Delaware on Friday.

AC Bryant - Dominates on the scoring front Bryant closed Monday's 78-67 win over Western Kentucky with 23 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 35 minutes.
Impact Bryant was a force on the scoring front for the Gamecocks in the sneaky win, making 70 percent of shots from the field, including five three-pointers. The starting guard has now recorded back-to-back outings with 20-plus points, and both of these contests have been wins for Jax State. He'll look to keep his hot streak alive at Delaware on Friday.

Armelo Boone - Team-high 18 points off bench Boone provided 18 points (7-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and three steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 78-67 loss to Jacksonville State.
Impact Boone has seen volatile usage so far this season, but he's found a way to keep scoring as of late, even off the bench. The 6-foot-4 guard was a force in the loss to Jax State, tying his second-highest point total of the season and notching three steals. The freshman guard is now averaging 12.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.8 steals on the year.

Teagan Moore - Another solid scoring game in loss Moore had 17 points (4-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-12 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 78-67 loss to Jacksonville State.
Impact Moore recorded another solid game on the scoring front, but it wasn't enough for the Hilltoppers to sneak out a win. Either way, the sophomore guard has logged just one game this season without double-digit points. He should remain WKU's go-to scorer versus Sam Houstin this Friday.
