South Carolina closes season with win over Arkansas, 76-61

South Carolina closed the 2015-16 regular season with a road win at Arkansas.

South Carolina closed their most successful regular season in years on Saturday night. The Gamecocks went on the road in their season finale and defeated Arkansas, 76-61, despite having senior Michael Carrera sidelined with a hip injury.

While this team has had one of the better years in this program's history, it has had two big weaknesses this season: road trips and perimeter defense. They would have to go toe-to-toe with both of those issues when they took on the Razorbacks. Arkansas boasted the second best offense in the SEC and the best three-point shooting percentage in the conference.
