Ta'Lon Cooper is the do-it-all guard for the Gamecocks. This season, Cooper leads the team in assists as well as field goal percentage, where he is shooting an astounding 48% from the field and 41% from three. Kentucky has had issues with defending the perimeter this season. Well, they've had issues defending in general.
