Entering a matchup against the SEC-leading and tenth-ranked Auburn Tigers while mired in a six-game losing streak, the South Carolina Gamecocks weren’t a likely candidate to spring the upset. But that’s exactly what they did, shocking the Plainsmen with an 84-75 win on Saturday afternoon in Columbia.
Under the watchful eyes of program greats Sindarius Thornwell, PJ Dozier, and Duane Notice, who were in town to collect their Final Four rings, the Gamecocks dominated Auburn in the first half and took an outlandish 46-25 lead to the locker room.
