US EditionNo. 3 South Carolina won't have leading rebounder Okot and reserve Makeer against Penn State
South Carolina lost leading rebounder Madina Okot and reserve Agot Makeer due to illness and concussion, leaving eight players available for the Penn State game.
- Dec. 14: No. 3 South Carolina women's basketball will be without Madina Okot and Agot Makeer for the Penn State game, the team posted shortly before tipoff.
- Last Sunday Okot exited the 106-42 win midway through the second quarter after feeling ill and did not return, while Makeer has missed the past two games after sustaining a concussion.
- Okot leads the team with 11.1 rebounds per game and has 17 blocks, underscoring her interior role through nine games.
- The absences leave the Gamecocks with eight available players, tightening rotations and reducing depth for rebounding and interior defense against Penn State frontcourt.
- This coming week the Gamecocks have a two-game Florida road trip and won't return home until Dec. 28 before SEC play begins Jan. 1.
