Impact Murray-Boyles was brilliant once again, but once again the Gamecocks lost an SEC game to drop their record in conference play to 2-15. Still, the forward was an electric scorer and has now scored at least 22 points in each of his last four games. He lived at the charity stripe, with a whopping 18 free-throw attempts helping cushion his point total. South Carolina's season is almost over, but expect the star forward to go out with a bang.

Nearly perfect despite big loss Murray-Boyles chipped in 27 points (10-11 FG, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 101-71 loss to Missouri.

Impact Murray-Boyles' 27 points were easily a team best in the loss to Missouri, but it wasn't enough to prevent a massive 30-point beatdown by the Tigers. South Carolina has been a hapless SEC team this season, but the Gamecock forward continues to play valiantly every night. On Tuesday, even a scoring 91 percent shooting from the field couldn't prevent another loss for South Carolina.

The sophomore has taken a big step this year, and remains a dynamic option on South Carolina's front court despite the dismal season in Columbia.

Picking scoring back up Murray-Boyles racked up 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and two steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 66-63 loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact Despite an incredibly productive start to the season, Murray-Boyles hit a bit of an offensive slump, starting the calendar year 3-for-15 from the field and recording single-digit scoring in back-to-back games for the first time all season. He snapped out of it with a stellar 25-point performance in a loss to Auburn last Saturday and followed it up with a relatively efficient shooting effort Wednesday. He remains one of the top fantasy forwards in a tough SEC conference.
