It was the same old story in this one: USC struggled with its shot and gave up a lot of uncontested shots in the paint. The team shot just 29 percent from the floor, 26 percent from 3-point land. Meanwhile the Rebels scored 30 points in the paint, about half of which came on dunk shots.

USC opened the game with a three-pointer by Bruce Ellington and Lakeem Jackson scored on the next possession to give the Gamecocks a 5-0 lead. The Rebels answered with a 17-0 run and never relinquished the lead from there.
