Big Third Quarter Propels South Carolina to Victory
CLEMSON – Despite holding No. 1 South Carolina to a season-low in first half points and shooting percentage, Clemson’s third quarter implosion, along with an onslaught of offense from its rival, led to a 65-44 Gamecock victory at Littlejohn Coliseum Thursday night.
After rivaling the Gamecocks in nearly every statistical category throughout the first half, the Tigers failed to score for the first five minutes of the third quarter, while the Gamecocks, led by nine points by guard Tessa Johnson, jumped out to a large lead.
