The Gamecocks shot a season-low 32.7 percent from the field in losing their fifth straight game and eighth in their past nine. USC (5-13, 2-7) shot a paltry 29.2 percent in the first half. < In a game plagued with 53 fouls, all ( five of USC's starters finished with ! four fouls, and four Mississippi players fouled out. Things got so bad that j Gamecock coach Eddie Fogler picked ] up a technical foul midway through the | second half for arguing about the Rebel j players hand checking the Gamecocks. ( "Hand check, hand check," Fogler , said entering the press conference fol- j lowing the game. He was repeating what he had said to draw the technical , foul from the official. "I just felt that appeared to be hand ( checking," Fogler said. "I've said a lot ^ worse." The game began with the Gamecocks turning the ball over on ' four of their first six possessions. They continued the trend by turning the ball * over on one out of every three posses- r sions in the first half. * The Rebels led at halftime thanks in c part to Ervin Games' two consecutive three-pointers during an 11-1 Ole Miss 1 run. Despite hitting only 11 of their 32 r shots from the floor. Mississippi took a 27-21 lead into the locker room.
