The last team to take down the Gamecocks before embarking on this 28-game winning streak was Kentucky, and they were not able to reset that number Thursday night.
Top-ranked South Carolina (22-0, 10-0) defeated the Kentucky Wildcats (10-12, 2-8) in front of the home fans by the score of 87-69.
This was a game defined by runs led by both squads, although USC was able to finally pull away in the third quarter.
The first blow was landed by Kentucky, as the Wildcats took a surprising 16-15 lead with 2:49 remaining in the first quarter following a string of buckets from Adebola Adeyeye.
