Wes Myers tried dumping the basketball into Chris Silva at the elbow. The pass bounced of Silva’s face before it was collected by the junior forward out near the scorer’s table. From there, the 6-foot-9 Silva drove and dished to his frontcourt mate Maik Kotsar for a wing 3-pointer.
Kotsar’s knuckler clanged off the back rim.
This was South Carolina’s first possession of the second half Wednesday evening against Missouri, a scene to help illustrate the ugliness that was the 79-68 loss to the Tigers at Colonial Life Arena.
USC (9-5 overall) is 0-2 in the SEC for the first time since 2015.
