South Carolina falls hard to Temple in return trip to NYC

South Carolina’s return trip to the Big Apple wasn’t nearly as fun.

The Gamecocks, playing in the same Madison Square Garden that saw their Final Four-clinching win over Florida eight months ago, again showed they’re a new team with a 76-60 loss to Temple on Thursday evening.

USC dropped to 5-2. The Owls improved to 4-1.

Sindarius Thornwell, P.J. Dozier and company – heroes last March in NYC – aren’t around anymore, forcing this 2017-18 team to continue a quest for a new identity.
