Brian Richardson drives to the basket in Saturday's loss to Kentucky

USC fans packed the Colonial Life Arena Saturday night in hopes of a repeat of last season’s upset of then #1 ranked Kentucky, and of course, to  cheer on football coach Steve Spurrier and some of his players who were being honored at halftime. 

The Wildcats, who handed the Gamecock football team one of its losses last season, made sure there was no post game celebration for Gamecock fans this time as they held on for a 67-58 win before 18,000 fans at the Colonial Life Arena .

 Bruce Ellington scored 23 points, including the final six for South Carolina, and the Gamecocks beat Florida 72-69 on Saturday.

Ellington got pretty much any shot he wanted against Florida’s smaller guards. His biggest ones came late, when he made a driving layup and four free throws to close it out in the final seconds.

Ellington was 8 of 15 shooting, including 3 of 7 from 3-point range, and chipped in four rebounds and three assists.

Remember us? USC hoops win in double OT Saturday night

November 28, 2010 By

Ramon Galloway led Carolina with 22 points

Lost in all the madness of the 108th meeting between USC and Clemson on the football field Saturday night was an exciting double-overtime win for Darrin Horn and the Gamecock basketball team at Western Kentucky.  Carolina picked up an 87-85 road win against Horn’s Alma matter and the team he coached before arriving in Columbia three years ago.

At one point USC trailed by as many as 12 points before they mounted a comeback.

Ramon Galloway scored 22 to lead the Gamecocks in scoring.  Freshman point guard Bruce Ellington added another 20.  Lakeem Jackson had 13 points as Carolina improved to 4-1 on the season.

BOX SCORE

This week the Gamecocks will face Delaware State on Wednesday and play host to rival Clemson Sunday afternoon.

Muldrow leads USC to win

Sam Muldrow led the way for USC with 20 points and 4 boards as the Gamecocks defeated Elon 94-79 Friday at the Colonial Life Arena to open the 2010 season.  The Gamecocks showed flashes of brilliance in the victory, but also displayed their youth and inexperience.  With a big lead in the second half USC stopped running their offense and forced bad shot after bad shot, allowing Elon to cut what was once a 28 point deficit down to 11 with just 4 minutes to play.
