Arkansas just so happens to be the last team that was able to beat South Carolina in a SEC Tournament game, but things didn’t go that way Friday afternoon.
Top-ranked South Carolina (28-1) defeated Arkansas (18-13) 76-54 in a game they never trailed to advance to the conference tournament semifinals. This is also the 16th consecutive win for the Gamecocks and their second against the Razorbacks this season.
South Carolina had trouble getting things started in this one, missing their first six shots. Aliyah Boston finally got a ball in the basket on a layup with 7:21 remaining in the first quarter, and things looked much better from there.
