Kentucky basketball drops first SEC game of the season to South Carolina on buzzer beater

Something about Columbia, South Carolina has coach John Calipari's teams' number. Three out of the past four matchups, Calipari has been upset when traveling to Colonial Life Arena. And it happened again Wednesday as South Carolina came back from down 11 to beat No. 10 Kentucky 81-78.

Down 76-78, Kentucky's Immanuel Quickley hit a baseline jumper to tie it up with less than five seconds left. It didn't matter, though, as Jermaine Couisnard made a last second three point heave that banked in as time expired, giving South Carolina the three point win.

The first half was not like the second.
