Fox loses 1st game vs USC
USC defeated Georgia Saturday night in Columbia 78-77 for its second straight SEC victory. The Gamecocks trailed 38-36 at halftime and were down by nine with 9:25 to play. Devan Downey put the Gamecocks up 78-77 on a jumper with :50 to play. That would be the final scoring in the game. The Bulldogs had a chance to take the lead with 3.2 seconds to play but Dustin Ware, an 83% free throw shooter, missed the front end of a one and one. In somewhat of a puzzling move, Georgia coach Mark Fox did not put his other players around the lane, so there was no Bulldog to contest the rebound.

Two straight SEC wins for Horn
Gamecock guard Ramon Galloway gathered in the loose ball off the floor and was fouled, just the sixth against Georgia. Galloway was again fouled on the inbounds play and missed the free throw with .2 left to play. The clock expired on the rebound recovery.

Downey amazing again
Devan Downey once again led the Gamecocks with 33 points. Downey was 12-20 from the floor, 4-7 on threes, and 5-5 at the line. Downey has scored at least 29 points in each SEC game this season.

Sam Muldrow recorded his first career double-double with a career high 19 points and 11 rebounds. Muldrow also had four blocks. The Gamecocks shot 51.8% from the floor for the game, 62.5% in the second half. USC is now 13-8 overall and 4-3 in the SEC. Georgia falls to 9-10 and 1-5 in the league. The Gamecocks are off until next Saturday when they play at Tennessee.
USC hoops adds a player

The USC basketball team is picking up a walk-on transfer that played at Nevada last season. The State’s Seth Emerson is reporting that 6-foot-5 forward Malik Cooke plans to join the Gamecocks this season. He will have to sit out this season because of the NCAA transfer rules.
Cooke started every game last season at Nevada. He averaged 9.6 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. He was the third leading scoring and rebounder on the team. Cooke is good friends with USC incoming freshman recruit Lakeem Jackson. The two played together at the Christ School in Arden, N.C.
By joining the USC squad Cooke will get to face his former coach at Nevada, Mark Fox, twice a season. Fox took over the Georgia program earlier this year.
