=============================================
FIRST HALF

– PRE-GAME … Before the national anthem, while the Gamecocks walked to their side of the court and the Bulldogs were finishing their warm-up shots, there were some jerks, jaws and jerks. The referees and technical teams had to intervene. A technical foul was called for Keondre Montgomery and AJ Lawson made 1 of 2 free throws before the start.

– 15:30, Carolina leads 11-5… Leveque and Woods each have four points in the U-16 timeout.

– 11:02, MSU leads 15-13 … Lawson and Couisnard left after Carolina left for the 11-5 lead and MSU went on a short run to take the lead. The history of the game so far is the number of fouls scored, 14 between the two teams. Gamecocks are in the bonus, there are 7 out of 10 on the free throw line. Minaya commits two fouls, but will likely be out of action for the rest of the first half.

– 7:35, Carolina leads from 21 to 20… McCreary gives the Gamecocks the lead, but on the other side of the court he receives his second foul. Minaya, Leveque and McCreary each have two fouls with a large part of the time remaining in the first half. Gamecocks will have to rely on their backcourt and Bryant’s length to get through this phase of basketball. Seventeen fouls so far.

– 3:57, MSU leads 31-24 … Gamecocks is in an offensive fall, having not made a basket in the past 3:44. They are only shooting 26% of the ground (6 out of 23). Carolina is being defeated by 23-12.

– 2:55, MSU leads 36-24 … South Carolina has zero crime at the moment. The team’s three best scorers (Lawson, Bryant and Couisnard), all on the bench. Bulldogs have their biggest lead in the game.

– 1:40, MSU leads 36-28 … Gamecocks scores points on consecutive offensive possessions, Bryant and Anderson on the edge.

HALFTIME: MSU 36 – Carolina 30

SECOND TIME

– 15:27, MSU leads 43-41 … The second half started with four trios made, one by MSU and three by Carolina to tie at 41. Bulldogs score after an offensive foul by Gamecocks. Free throws for MSU after missing Woods.

– 14:25, MSU leads 48-47 … Gamecocks took the lead, but only briefly. After Lawson made a three and Couisnard had an old-fashioned three in a robbery, Gamecocks goes all over the court and Bulldogs makes a three in the corner.

– 11:53, MSU leads 54-49 … The Bulldogs hit five of their last shots. Carolina is shooting 7 out of 10 this semester, but has five losses.

– 10:48, MSU leads 59-49 … MSU’s lead balloons rise to 10 again, while Carolina returns to bad attack and post-defense.
