Arkansas 35, South Carolina 31 - Halftime
The Razorbacks led by as many as 11 points in the first half, but will carry a four-point lead into the break. South Carolina made a nice push late and got big shots from A.J. Lawson and Maik Kotsar with 29 seconds left.
Jalen Harris and Mason Jones each scored eight first-half points, and four others - Bailey, Gafford, Embery-Simpson, Chaney - pitched in four points. Gafford sat the final 15-plus minutes with foul trouble. Isaiah Joe is 1-of-5 from deep so far.
South Carolina is fairly fortunate to only be down four at halftime considering it turned the ball over 15 times on 40 first-half possessions.
