No. 14 Kentucky forced a flurry
of South Carolina turnovers early in
the second half Saturday and pulled
away to a 76-63 Southeastern Confer
ence win. 1
Four days after beating No. 6
Tennessee by 13 points in Knoxville,
the Wildcats (17-5, 7-1) struggled
against the Gamecocks (9-13, 1-8).
Sophomore guard Jamel Bradley
scored 14 for South Carolina, includ
ing four 3-pointers, while freshmen
Marius Petravicius and Chuck Eidson
each scored 13.
Kentucky played its first game
without reserve forward/center Jules
Camara, who will miss up to four weeks
with a foot injury. Freshman Marvin
Stone, who played 17 minutes in Ca
mara’s absence, scored four points and
grabbed three rebounds but turned the :
ball over three times.
South Carolina stayed close by mak
ing 11 of 32 3-pointers. The Game
cocks trailed only 65-60 with 5:26 re
maining, but they were outscored 11-3
by the Wildcats down the stretch.
It was the same story for the Game
cocks, who hung close but lost their
eighth straight game. USC has played
eight ranked opponents in its last 10
games, losing by an average of seven
points in each contest.
With the score tied at 39 and 15:30
remaining, the Wildcats went ahead on
two of Jamaal Magloire’s 11 free
throws.
The 10 seconds that followed were
the Gamecocks’ undoing.
First, Kentucky’s Saul Smith tipped
the subsequent inbounds pass to Stone,
who slammed it home.
Then, as South Carolina tried to
bring the ball upcourt, Wildcat fresh
man guard Keith Bogans stole the ball
and charged for a dunk and a 45-39 lead
with 15:20 left.
The Gamecocks would get no clos
er than two points (at 50-48) the rest
of the way.
Kentucky, which has won 13 of the
last 14 games, looked like it would put
the game away early, taking a 15-7 lead
as Magloire scored eight points.
But South Carolina rallied with a
string of threes by Bradley, Eidson,
Travis Kraft and Antonio Grant, tying
the score at 26 on a 3-pointer by David
Ross with 7:35 left in the first half.
The Gamecocks later led at sever
al points during the end of the first half
and started off the second before Ken
tucky took the lead for good.
The Gamecocks haven’t won a
game since Jan. 8, also the last time
they won a conference game. USC
also lost to Kentucky for the seventh
consecutive time since sweeping the
Wildcats in their SEC Championship
season of 1996-97.
USC continues its road'trip Wfednes
day at Mississippi before returning to
Columbia for a four-game home stand
on Feb. 16. The Gamecocks will face
perhaps their easiest part of the season
there, with games against Mississippi
State, Alabama, LSU and Georgia.
