Sindarius Thornwell doesn't shy away from expectations, and the senior is aiming to finish his final college season in style.
The South Carolina guard also will be striving to follow up the highest scoring game of his career when the No. 23 Gamecocks host Auburn in Tuesday's SEC contest in Columbia, S.C.
Thornwell poured in 34 points in Saturday's loss to Kentucky, and he said the big outing is easy to explain. He said it is because he is now able to play without worry.
"Just play free and play confident," Thornwell said at Monday's press conference.
