The last time the Gamecocks were in Madison Square Garden, things went very, very well. This time, however, they got schooled by Temple in the Under Armour Reunion tournament. Quinton Rose dropped 24 points on South Carolina, and Damion Moore finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds as the Owls (4-1) were in control from wire to wire.
While South Carolina (5-2) went to the locker room dealing with a manageable 38-27 deficit, things had not been going particularly well for the Gamecocks. That continued in the second half, as Temple jumped out to a 54-39 lead and at one point led by as much as 23.
