four in the title game in 2019 they were number one won in the nation in 2022 and they were of course in this NCA tournament on four separate occasions took him a couple years to get it going but get it going he has and he said when he got here to the ballpark to the uh to the gym he was going to come talk to Lamont Paris and point out that it took me 3 years to make any progress heing here you are 1 and 1/2 years in setting in first place in the SEC he very much respects and appreciates what coach Ferris has done with the gamec well he's been around a long time he's been through all the battles we could imagine uh and uh he appreciates the job as everybody does now that parents has done in Carolina Chris M Health injury report Dr Chris maway is on the trip with us from Chris meldon doesn't have anything to do well at least not with this team he's got plenty to do but the Gamecocks are healthy and that is a very very good thing the official team Physicians and official health care system of the Gamecock Charisma Health supporting this broadcast let's meet your starting lineups first for the Auburn Tigers the point guard is Trey Donaldson he's a sophomore from Tallahassee 63200 lb he was a football player you can see it in his build 7.3 points a game three and a half assists per game that leads the squad he's joining the back court by Denver Jones who arrived at Auburn

in the transfer portal prior to last season from Morehead State where he was a teammate of ton Cooper leads this team in scoring at 16 points a game leads them in rebounding at 8.6 a game leads them in Block shots at 2. for a game he is probably a guy who deserves a little more attention in terms of SEC player of the year for the performance he's had throughout this season well you're absolutely right he went into the portal last year but came back and uh what a tremendous return for the Tigers the Gamecock starting lineup as has been the case since the injury suffered to mil study which is when this winning streak got going you will see in the back court Talon Cooper a point guard 64 4 200 lb grad student from robu South Carolina 10 points a game 4.3 rebounds a game and a team best 4.4

Carolina 13.6 points a game five rebounds a game leads this squad he hadit a season ey five three-pointers against Vanderbilt on Saturday game Cox could probably use him to have a similar shooting performance here tonight well he found his range last game against Bandy and he needs to keep it up here tonight to give us a chance game coocks will be in the road black uniforms with white numerals and lettering and Garnet trim while Auburn comes out wearing the home whites and of course the trim burnt orange and blue for Bruce Pearl's Squad Auburn was 21- 13 last year lost in the NCA tournament second round they finished in a 10 and8 record in conference play which was seventh place but they brought back a lot of talent added a couple pieces and from the start this year they have really looked like possibly the best team in this league when they've won they have won big they've beaten up on almost everybody that they've beaten oh well you're absolutely right I said groom not the portal he tested the NBA Waters and decided to come back back and uh like I said a huge return for the Tigers he he's special our officials tonight Terry Oglesby Keith Kimble Owen short Murray Bo will be in the center jump Circle and he's awaiting the arrival of Janai broom who will jumping up with it broom's down on the Baseline right now clearing his head saying a few words as Terry Oglesby has the basketball and he's ready to toss it into the air and get us underway the orange orbon goes up there's a little clock malfunction they started the clock before they got the ball in play so we'll have to hit the reset button and try that again but us three times fourth time finally is the charm and we are underway here at Neville Arena playing basketball South Carolina and Auburn looking forward to a fun meeting tonight Gamecocks of course open manto man and aubert immediately feeds it in the low post to broom he puts puts up a jump hook and misses it but Chris Moore has the rebound for the Tigers and they'll go right back to Brun who backs in again misses again and this time the Gamecocks have the rebound pretty good defense good looks early for broom who makes 56% of his shots but BJ Mack didn't make it too easy on him and the Gamecocks have a chance to score first aubert of course in a manto man they play a smothering brand of Defense it is Murray Bo on the left wing guarded by broom as the shot clock goes to single digits and now it's a five as BJ works his way from the perimeter down to the low post and draws a quick foul with a crafty play shot clock was at two but as we've talked about all season this team just does not panic and he got the defender off his feet and he gets the cheapy and that will be on Jaylen Williams and it'll mean two free throws for BJ Mack no rush no hurry he knew he had two seconds plenty of time to get the shot off DJ at the line 76% on the season first attempt is too strong off the back iron Mack had 18 points and six rebounds Saturday against the commodor as we said 5 three-pointers a season high he had been working on that three-pointer after practice all week long and it paid dividends as he makes one of two game Cox have the first point of the game one to nothing with one minute gone by Williams guarded by Murray Bo at the top of the key feeds it and gets it back they throw the lob to him and it's off the backboard but he gets possession back and Auburn stays alive with the offense and Williams is open for a three on the right side that rims out and Murray Bo grabs the rebound for South Carolina good looks for the Tigers nothing with you will notice broom and Johnson play off of each other very well here's mck for three and he's got it well he picks up way left off against Bandy 36th three-pointer of the season for the Watford transfer Carolina with a four to nothing lead here against the Auburn Tigers this team seems to make fast starts look really easy on the road we've seen it going all the way back certainly against Clemson even before that broom again in the low post backing in and BJ Mack called for the push off he had the forearm in the back of broom and so he picks up his first personal well there determined to go into room yeah not surprising the offense really does run through the big man Bruce Pearl says he's one of the best scoring big men in the country he calls him old school he'll play as you just noticed there with his back to the basket he'll face up here's a feet off the Baseline inbounds they get it into Jaylen Williams and with a soft touch on the leftand jump hook he puts it up an in he shoots 58% from the field when he's played in this building in conference play he's been Dynamite game Coxs with an open three for Johnson on the left side and that rattles in for South Carolina well two threes a good look there from Zach Davis who was cutting along the Baseline and got a bounce pass but instead of looking for a layup he kicked it out and meech was wide open good to see Johnson get an early layup and at the other end it's an equally easy layup for Trey Donaldson as the Gamecocks got a little confused on the ball screen and Donaldson took it all the way to the rim uncontested 74 South Carolina has the lead ton Cooper on the handle on the left wing gives to Murray boils in the high post spins his way to the basket beats brewman off the glass he kisses it in with the right hand that was a tough shot by the pr we're right at broom Gamecock I think might have some ideas about that isolation play pulling broom out to the high post speaking to broom he's got an open three on a pick and pop it's off the mark rebound chased and one by Auburn they've gotten three offensive rebounds already that's not something that Lamont Paris will be happy about tigers are 36 in the nation an offensive rebound percentage the jump shot is missed in another offensive rebound and Lamont's really starting to get steam now Auburn not shooting it well early they are only two for7 and we already see mil study headed to the scorers table as a result Williams for three and that's good off the pick and pop jayen Williams makes the Gamecock pay for not being able to squeeze the rebound game Cox lead at 97 Carolina hasn't missed a shot yet from the field Auburn's missed five and now a turnover and it is Donaldson running to the rim and dunking it well I ball can C every time and that gets this sellout crowd ignited tied at nine four minutes gone by BJ Mack into the front court and now he has a pass stolen away and Auburn again in transition layup is missed rebound lost out of bounds Auburn will have it and we get a timeout 1549 on the clock Auburn and South Carolina are tied at N9 and we're back after this from [Music] Coca-Cola and we're back

momentum along with the fact that Auburn has been able to get things going on the offens of glass as well cool care heating air plumbing and Refrigeration proud to be gamec basketball's official review sponsor schedule an official review of your HVAC and Plumbing Systems for the cold winter months connect online at coolcare hvac.com and find them on social media we did not have a cold winter month to speak of today it was gorgeous here in Auburn chance to walk around this lovely little community and folks for the most part were actually nice it was absolutely gorgeous here today about 65° I'm looking at a stat they four rebounds all offensive rebound Gamecocks haven't missed a shot so they haven't had a chance to get a defensive rebound but they've kept possessions alive with four offensive rebounds and that is uh certainly not a good Mark for South Carolina in all three losses this season if there's a consistent stat in those three losses it's the the Gamecock have lost the battle in terms of offensive rebounding percentage so that's certainly not the way you want to see it start both teams with substitutions Auburn like a hockey team they go with shifts and they've got a whole bunch of new guys on the court and off the inbounds they miss a three but there's a push off by Dylan Cardwell of the Tigers as he knocked Josh gray to the ground going for that offensive rebound let's tell you about the subs for South Carolina First mil sty the 66 Jr from Washington DC is on the court replacing Zachary Davis and Josh gray replaces BJ Mack of course Josh the seven-footer from Brooklyn now for Auburn KD Johnson the veteran guard now a senior former starter for them he's out there and they've also got on the floor young man named Baker Mazzara it's a Gamecocks attack Murray Bo goes to the basket bump misses the shot and then mil study is called for the foul going for the offensive rebound was a tough possessions looks like we were fou the time I think they missed their best opportunity when ton drove and dish to Josh Josh didn't seem prepared to do anything with the basketball and he kicked it back out to the perimeter and that led to the foul eventually after the Miss shot by Murray boils as we said now Chad Baker mazara Junior from the Dominican Republic transferred in from Junior College and he runs the pick and roll to Perfection drops it low for Dylan Cardwell and Cardwell is fouled on his way up by Josh Greg so a couple quick fouls on the Gamecock and jacobe Wright the Junior from Fort Mill heads to the scorer table Cardwell to shoot two he came over and greeted Casey before the game like you were old Chumps well he's from Augusta Georgia and he's been around 5 years now at least four yeah sinks his first free throw here 5 Points four rebounds a game as the average Ricardo he's another one when they put him in for broom what they do not lose is a thing at the defensive end he's another guy that is a block shot Ace he averages one and a half per game second shot on its way and it's good as well so Dylan Cardwell makes both free throws and Auburn has its first lead of the game it is 119 full court pressure off the made free throw and quick foul called as Carolina got the ball into jacobe Wright and he was bumped immediately by Chad Baker Mazzara and they will foul you they that aggressive glad to see Terry ogles be call that because they will get as physical and aggressive as they are allowed to be and Bruce Pearl of course will work officials over and sometimes seems like he gets his way in that regard here's Mei at the top of the key on a switch guarded by Cardell goes right by him Cardwell slaps his shot off the backboard Gamecock feed it back give it to Mei on the right side as three comes up short study tries to run it down on the Baseline lost it out of bounds as he collides with Cardwell Cardwell playing to the crowd as he heads back down the court and Auburn will get it back was a nice move by Mei but as we said Cardwell a great shot blocker and he chased the play from behind and slapped it off the backboard 70 run for Auburn after the Gamecocks grabbed the early lead it's 11 to9 Tigers a little over 5 minutes gone by here is Baker mazara for an open three in the right corner and he's got it game packs gamble thought they had a loose ball but it was the point guard for the Tigers Aiden Holloway a freshman who came into that media timeout who beat them to it and then found his teammate on the Baseline gream Cox's under some duress now with this crowd really getting after with them again Mei driveing into the bucket mazara reaches in and slapped it out of bounds Carolina will have it on the Baseline well the Tigs on a 10 run in the last 26 and Gamecocks haven't scored in over two minutes now and with eight on the shot clock let's see if they can find a good look off the Baseline out of bounds they bring it in to Josh gray in the corner he sends it out to Mei Mei lets a 30-footer fly and he got it from the right wing well we need that from Mei he has not had big scoring days in a while if he wants to step up today it won't break my heart he's got a couple threes already Gamecocks needed that in the worst way and they cut their deficit to two it is 14 to2 Chad Baker mazara guarded by ton Cooper double team finds the empty spot it's right under the basket it's Cheney Johnson who's alone for the two-and flush and very much alone wide open the second unit for auam has given them a real spark since that media timeout haven't they five fresh guys that come in Off the Bench they play two different rotations like an a team and A B Team Mei driving in kicking sty for three in the corner misses it Josh gray was being held and it wasn't called so he could only get one hand on the rebound and he bats it out of bounds and Auburn will get it back ton Cooper gets a rest as Zachary Davis returns to the court 1612 Auburn with the lead and Auburn brings Jaylen Williams back on the court Aiden Holloway The Freshman point guard from Charlotte North Carolina a McDonald's allamerican pick and roll and a foul called at The Rim as Dylan Cardwell slipped the screen and looked like he was going up for a two-hand flush Gamecock are whistle for the personal and it will be two more free throws coming for Dylan Cardwell who's made a couple already Bei gets the personal H Cox's already whistled for four personal fouls in the first six plus minutes Cardwell back at the line and his third free throw is good as well he's only a 65% shooter and the form is rather stiff but heast three for three right results are all the [Music] matter couple years ago I remember him having uh pretty significant impact on both games against South Carolina coming off the bench he was having one here early with four early points as he makes another free throw six-point Edge for the home team 13 to3 run for Auburn after South Carolina made its first three shots and had the early momentum and now another turnover by the Gamecock as Josh gray throws it away right now Casey the Gamecock reserves have floundered where the Auburn non-starters have really flourish Josh gray will leave the lineup as PJ Mack returns car line in need of a stop right now here comes Aiden hallway walking it across the timeline they've had a slew of talented undersized point guards and he's the latest in that line he's got it for a jumper here just inside the free throw line and he's got that and he can really shoot the ball first bucket for Aiden hallway eight-point lead for Auburn May three in a row five of seven BJ's open for a three that rims out run down in the corner by hallway he immediately turns up court and will push the tempo shobe Reich slows him down and they'll feed it to jayen Williams on the left Baseline jump Hook is good G Cox's getting sliced and diced right now by this Auburn Tiger team Colin Murray Bo's coming back to the scores table it is 2212 the lead reaches double figures for the first time here for Auburn study on the right wing couple jab steps now gives it back to Mei near Mid Court Mei guarded by jayen Williams will drive kicks up at The Rim Davis fouled on his way up great look from Mei Johnson who has gotten mismatches against bigs and has attacked with that quick First Step repeatedly that time looking to feed a teammate instead of finish himself and it will mean Zach Davis is at the line when we return Carolina getting punched in the face a little bit here by the auen Tigers it's 22 to2 Carolina Trails we're back

c celebrate responsibly it's a 22 to2 Auburn lead and the bench has been the difference in this one so far Casey uh recently 80 run but over a long period an 18 to3 run so uh we got to do something stop the bleeding and bench points are 11 to zero they brought in their second unit after that media timeout and so the second unit scored 11 points from the First Media timeout to the second media timeout game cockn starters have yet to register a Point South Carolina is not going to be able to go blow to blow for blow with them but you got to get some contributions from somebody whether it's study or Josh or someone maybe jacobe right now it's Zach Davis at the free Thro line to shoot a pair he was fouled by KD Johnson and he sinks his first free throw that's a big foul shot we need to make get it g Cox's winning streak of course coincides with Zach's insertion into the starting lineup second one just does tip out over the front of the rim so one of two for Zach in a nine-point deficit and the Auburn starters at least some of them are back on the floor Donaldson is back at point guard Baker mazara stays in they try a lob and it is broken up by South Carolina and it's batted out where it's picked up by Zach Davis who brings it ahead ton Cooper back on the court for South Carolina BJ Mack handling it on the left wing H Team up is Murray Bo he gets it on the Baseline against Janai broom he drives by him and beats him with the right hand and scores it off the glass second tough shot he's made over broom going right at Janai broom who averages 2.4 block shots a game but put him on skates there making him guard on the perimeter Gamecocks get beat on a WP play and it is a dunk for Baker Mazar they ran him off a screen in the high post Zach Davis couldn't keep up but no one else was there to help Chad Baker Mazar with five points off the bench for Auburn pushes that lead right back to nine 2415 Jobe Wright gives to Murray boils he goes to the right Baseline this time sends a pass out top to Cooper ton drives and kicks in the corner Zach Davis tries a three that's no good long rebound to Baker mazara and he's sprinting forward leaves it for broom broom puts the shot in and a blocking foul called on jacobe right jaob kby was just the mouse in the house there there wasn't much he could do he just tried to hold his ground and hope he could get a cheap charge but Owen short gave the shooter the credit and broom made the shot on top of getting the [Music] foul night brooms first points of the game and he airballs the free throw wow 61% shooter but that I mean that wasn't really even close I don't think it reached the bottom of the net so the Gamecocks get it on the inbounds trailing it by 11 trying to slow down this Auburn Bunch which missed five of its first eight shots if I'm not mistaken but now they're 10 of 17 here's a drive to the hoop from ton Cooper he misses the Up and Under reverse Murray Bo tries to dunk the rebound and he was fouled shot didn't go he'll be at the line second foul on Chad Baker mazara he's one of those well-traveled guys began his career at Duan then to San Diego State then to Northwest Florida state junior college now he's at Auburn and he is complaining vehemently that he didn't foul on that play and now he'll sit down after the first free throw was made by Colin Murray Bo we got to make our free throws and uh that was a good first M food line the proud sponsor of score to give more this season Food Lions donated 30,000 meals to help our neighbors in need this winner Murray Bo's misses the second free though but the Gamecocks get the offensive rebound we have a chance to cut a little further into a 10-point deficit BJ Mack on the perimeter gives it off to jacobe right jacobe takes his Dribble To the Left Baseline goes up and under feeds Murray Bo and he gets a layup M balls six points I think seven seven seven early points and a neat look there from jaob who was absolutely tight walk tight rope walking the Baseline to stay in bounds he not only stayed in bounds but he had his head up and found a teammate from underneath the rim so Carolina gets three points out of The Possession and now here's a Miss Jumper by the tigers that was someone new just checked into the lineup Denver Jones is back out there Jones started hadn't got many touches so Carolina trying to cut further as BJ M gets the iso back to Janai broom down in the low post puts it up with the left hand can't finish there's another offensive rebound for Murray boils and his stick back won't go Ball's lost out of bounds it'll stay with the Gamecock might have been blocked that time yeah I think looked like uh broom probably did get a piece of that one I don't know if it'll go in the books officially yes it will ji broom is credited with the block shot and that is the second one for Auburn of course Cardwell had one that was a little more emphatic earlier Baseline inbounds comes out out to jacobe he'll catch and try a three it's too strong off the back iron not a good shot not a good shot at all rushed for no reason game Cox had the whole shot clock to work with there but jacobe let it rip so the lead for Auburn stays at eight here's leor Burman driving into the paint he's stuck kicks out the broom he'll try a three and he's got itai broom has added that to his game this season never a three-point shooter 29% last year but now he's at 34% and that's a 17th make of the Year lead back to double figures for the Tigers and now a turnover by the Gamecock as Murray Bo has the ball knock free theor Burman Dives on it and Auburn will call a timeout 835 remaining here in the first half it's 2918 the Tigers have the lead and it'll be a 30 second timeout so we will keep it right here Gamecocks are back at home on Saturday when the LSU Tigers come to Colonial Life Arena you can get your tickets right now through the official mobile app or on ticketmaster.com Ticketmaster is the official ticketing partner of your game coags that's a 330 tip off we'd love to see you at Colonial Life Arena let's pause 10 seconds for station identification this is Gamecock basketball from learfield well the tigers are seven for their last eight they're really hot playing well we had a 40 game where we need to just calm down a little bit dere and uh get a basket here and there on two-point field goals they are eight for 13 and the Gamecocks have been very good defending twoo field goal percentage team defense this season has been significant but over the last two games we've seen the opponents shoot 50% from the field don't know that you can consider it a problem a a trend but certainly Auburn is off to a great start at 58% and now they get another buget Gamecocks went to a 13-1 Zone and we see teams sometimes really confused by it on the first look they weren't at all and so the Gamecocks now have to call a timeout they got a quick bucket out against that Zone by flashing Janai broom into the high post where he hit the little baby hook and then Carolina couldn't get the ball inbounded and ton Cooper had to call a timeout to avoid a 5-second violation Carolina trailing here at Auburn 31 to8 and with Timeout on the floor we'll step aside for this message from the Columbia Metropolitan Airport hey Gamecock fans I'm men's basketball coach Lamont Paris and I

that's exactly how they have performed so far tonight Florida led the whole game they really got punched and uh here tonight that they're on fire 12 of 20 60% three of six from downtown that's 50% four five from the line we're six of 16 38% 3 of eight from downtown 38% three of six from the foul line and uh we got to slow them down a little bit they eight for the last nine from the field game Cox course of won seven consecutive games but against this Auburn team they're running into an equally impressive streak which is 15 straight wins at home for the Tigers Carolina able to get it in bounds this time against that full court pressure and ton Cooper will walk it into the front Court he's guarded by leor Burman he's a former walon he's a grand student now from Birmingham and they love him cuz he plays some really solid defense that's the 11th player they've used already tonight shot clock to single digits Mei on the perimeter being handed by Trey Donaldson drives it to the right elbow goes up and under with a shot and got a tough one it really was a tough shot and a well- needed one he had to create that one from the beginning he's got eight points auam pushes it immediately and goes into the low post to broom against Josh gray double team meets he nearly took it away from him broom has to give it up and he does outside to Donaldson Donaldson brings his dribble down to the Baseline goes up and under spins the reverse up and in that was a Nifty move and giv him credit well Trey Donaldson is really coming on no one talks about this kid but in their recent big win over Alabama he had 14 points six rebounds four assists sophomore from Tallahassee already with six points in this contest along with two assists 33-20 Auburn 7 minutes left nii gives to Zach Davis who slips now shoots a tough jump JP shot that fangs off the back of the rim no Carolina's offense is really getting locked up right now by Auburn the last two possessions have been basically shots where one guy's having to try and create off the dribble Mei can do that I'm not sure that's really the position you want to put Zach into pick and roll Donaldson again works his way into the low post misses this jumper better defense from Carolina Mei has the rebound and mon Paris points him forward into the front Court he drives past his man kicks it out to Cooper Mei gets it back feeds underneath for Murray Bole soft touch with the jump hook no too strong off the back iron well good look shanie Johnson grabs the rebound for Auburn and here they come again boy they do not waste any time drive to the basket and Denver Jones has his shot rejected and Carolina comes away with it Josh St he sure did so Josh erases one and now Mei will try a deep three he misses that Josh again goes up for the rebound with his right arm being held down that time by broom they let him get away with it so Auburn has it and now Cheney Johnson puts up a three that's way off the mark and Mei grabs the rebound and maybe they were getting a cool off a little bit would like to see Josh be able to Rebound with both arms seems like it's only fair that he's allowed to do so but we've seen twice now where they just absolutely were holding his right arm down and it was not C here's ton Cooper giving to Murray Bo left Baseline against Brun drives the Baseline sends a pass in the far corner now back out to Mei shot clocked under five he will create again drives shot rejected by Mei Johnson Murray Bo got it back but the shot clock sounded before he could get that shot up and in made the shot did not count erase it and Auburn will have the ball and they will bring in fresh troops once again and we are going to get an official review I think are they going to see if the first shot hit the rim the the the first first attempt by the Gamecocks which I believe was meei question is when broom blocked that shot did it hit the rim or not and we will get an official review right here next to us and that of course is brought to you by cool care heating air plumbing and Refrigeration to schedule your official preventive maintenance review to keep everything dribbling along cool care has been recognized as multi-year winners of the state the free times and Columbia Metropolitan magazines best of columia Ward it's called the best today looked like from our view on that Replay that ball did hit the rim after it was blocked by Janai broom so in my opinion should be South Carolina getting the ball back I don't think they'll count the bucket for Murray Bo but I think South Carolina should at least Keep The Possession and get a fresh shot clock Morris ugas is going to check in for the first time tonight freshman from hellsinki Finland will be in the back court for Carolina Terry Oglesby and O short two officials on the headset right next to us talking back into I guess the headquarters of the SEC in Birmingham the control room where they have to figure out the clock as much as anything else so the shot was blocked by Janai Brun but when he blocked it the ball hit the rim and this should enable the Gamecocks to keep the possession we do believe oh they're going to count the basket they're going to count the basket very interesting so the shot clock violation is waved off and it's a play on apparently and they will count the basket for Colin Murray Bo who has been along with Mei Johnson the offensive leader in this contest Murray boils the SEC freshman of the week already with nine points in the first half of this contest so that bucket and once they get it confirmed will'll make it 332 two and we'll give Auburn the ball with 516 remain yes big basket by uh callary soram is your One-Stop shop to grow your business they design they print they

Sama today play resumes Auburn Basketball game Co defending in a manto man they played zone for only one possession and Auburn scored immediately and now the tigers with an erant pass goes out of bounds but Carolina got a finger on it and so the Tigers keep it on the Baseline my study jacobe Wright ton Cooper Morris ugas suck Colin Murray Bo so Carolina with a smallish lineup right now just trying to see what they can change Jaylen Williams near side against mil study turns his back kicks it back out the hallway now Williams gets it again and he tries a three and he hits again wow what a start for Jaylen Williams that's 10 in his five sec home games he's averaging 18 and almost six rebounds he is certainly lit it up in this building here's jacobe Wright drive to the basket shot swatted out of bounds by Dylan Cardwell his second block shot and the game Cox will keep it with 15 on the shot clock good move from but they have Rim protection they have always at least one on the floor so Carolina with the inbounds gets it out top to UGA guarded by KD Johnson now on the switch Williams takes him gives to cooper cooper will try and post up against the smaller guard backs him in has the ball knock free puts it up and scores It Anyway nice recovery from ton after that ball nearly got stripped go ahead he was quick thinking on his feet and with his hands to get that ball over the r first points for ton Cooper Gamecocks need him to get involved offensively 12-point deficit as we head to the 4minute Mark here in the first half Auburn for once slowing down as the point guard Holloway lets the shot clock get to single digits and just now looking to go somewhere guarded by Cooper and Cooper will be called for the hand check and that'll be his first and we have a timeout 353 remaining Auburn by a dozen at 3624 we're coming back after this from Coors Light That to-do list you have needs one more thing chill it's an easy thing to do just crack open a nice cold Coors Light

the Gamecock Sports [Music] Network whatever you bring bring more whatever you personally bring to the SEC table bring more get up earlier sing and yell and stomp louder enough never ever is not here between the Magnolias and the aelas Legends and L regalas downright implore us bring everything you got and then bring [Music] more Carolina facing the 12 point deficit late in the first half need to find some momentum here before we go to the locker room you're absolutely right you want to get it below 10 double digits plenty of time left uh you know we've only turned the ball over four times or they've gotten six points off those four turnovers meanwhile the Tigers have only had one turnover in the first yeah it's really been more a matter of failing to get stops as Auburn has made 14 of their 25 shot attempts and again H Miss and Vanderbilt combined to shoot 45 of 84 on two-point field goal attempts and Auburn a team that comes in shooting almost 55% 54.7% so they're pretty pretty good pretty efficient in twos and they have certainly been that so far in this one they are 10 for uh 10 for 17 from two-point territory so far they've got the basketball as play resumes Jaylen Williams their leading score with 10 points gives it up to ktie Johnson Cardwell posts up has it knocked free ball loose picked up by Williams he's got another three and he makes another three that's just bad luck it is H Cox's knocked it free from Cardwell and as study do for it it ends up in the lap of Jaylen Williams who sinks his third three-pointer of the first half 13 points and the lead up to 15 largest of the game for the Tigers Delon Cooper beats Murray bo back door cutting study misses the bunny easy layup that's one I'm guessing where the previous block shots he's seen impacted him there and he hurried cuz that was an easy layup he was right under the bucket on the back door cut great feed from Murray Bo Carolina wastes a prime opportunity to score against this tough tough Auburn defense ktie Johnson lobbing for Cardwell Murray boils there to break it up ball knocked free but Auburn again wins a 50/50 ball looked like study had it couldn't squeeze it Tigers Keep The Possession alive and that shot clock reset Lamont Paris doesn't think it should have and he will speak to Terry Oglesby who will stop play now and go take a peek at it and the officials are saying that the Gamecocks had possession long enough for the shot clock there he said no way no way they ever they never had possession Murray boils went High to break up the lob attempt study had his hands on it but never secured it that I don't understand that decision by the officials at all they're going to really give Auburn a break there and they've had the bounces going their way in this one already don't need to help them out anymore 239 left first half it's 3924 Auburn has had the lead since Carolina's quick start in the first three minutes here's Williams again another three and he scores it again my goodness he's out of his mind 16 question his career high came here against Alabama when he had 26 recently and his Casey just mentioned he's got 16 already before halftime and the game Cox turn it over with another errant pass 18-point deficit Jaylen Williams is six of seven and four of five on three-pointers goodness grief you know he's had two games of season Casey where he didn't miss a shot so believe it or not this isn't anywhere close to his high water mark kick and roll L for Cardwell and he's got the uncontested flush as the Gamecocks get beat again on that particular set and now the Gamecocks are fouled as they're trying to get the ball inbounded and Auburn guilty of the hole a 20po deficit we were just saying coming out of that last media timeout you're down 12 you need try to get this thing to single digits by half time unfortunately it's gone the other way an 80 Run for the Tigers and they lead at 4424 DJ mcka the top of the key looking for help can't find anyone to give it to finally gets it off to Mei shot clock at 10 Mei weaves his way through traffic picks up the dribble now lets the jump shot go from the free throw line and got it another really difficult bucket for Mei with the shot CL winding down he's got 10 he and Colin Murray Bo pretty much have been the offense in this one but not nearly enough more than anything it's the defensive struggles and again here's another Nifty move by Jones and he's fouled and scored he split the double team and then went right at Murray boil got the contact and Denver Jones gets his first points of the game and we'll have a chance at a three-point play and so far the Tigers can do no wrong you're exactly right this is just one of those nights where you just shake your head but Casey this is unfortunately if you're game K this is part for the course for them at home they haven't just won every home game they have won every home game by at least 12 points Jones's free throw attempt is good Florida International transfer gets his first three points lead is 21 minute 15 on a running first half clock the Gamecocks bringing into the front Court Paul rer for coming up in a bit with your Gamecock halftime report here's Mei again driving feeding down low for Murray boils and he blows a bunny gets an offensive rebound and he's fouled on his way back up by broom well we' missed about three point blank layups I think as I said those block shots from Auburn they had three of them early and I think that gets in your head and you have seen shots swatted with authority twice by Cardwell once by broom study missed a bunny now Murray Bo who seemingly doesn't ever Miss lately missed a bunny but he at least can make up for it at the line and he sinks his first free throw attempt so that's 10 for Murray Bo last three games before tonight averaging 21 points and seven rebounds a game making 78% of his field goal attempts he gets both free throws here Carolina five of eight at the line and now a turnover Murray Bo's interception steps a pass and Carolina will see if they can gather a little bit of positivity as they bring it him back into the front Court Mei on the left wing picks up his dribble bump needs help feeds Murray Bo who drives into the paint kicks back to Mei takes it to the Baseline Feeds out top to coup coup for three that's an air ball and Auburn will get it back a tough possession that time Auburn does that to you they are really Elite defensively second best fi goal percentage defense in the nation behind Houston opponents make only 38% of their shots and the Gamecocks are sitting on 36% right now looks like about two seconds difference between the shot clock and the game clock so Auburn can really grind this one down and try and get the last attempt of the half already leading it comfortably 4728 Denver Jones working the dribble back and forth methodically through his legs now they'll kick into the offense it's Baker mazara at the top of the key steps back tries a three and gets it and can't be surprised by that they could do no wrong in the first half Auburn HS a three-pointer to take a 22-point lead at the break and folks they finished the first half seven of 11 on three-point attempts they were one for their first three and after that six for their final eight and they just made everything well again do no wrong I mean uh got to give them credit uh they just brought it to us so the Gamecock seven game win streak looks like it's in great Peril they Trail it at the half 50 to 28 and your Gamecock halftime report is next

that is the most Point South Carolina has given up in the first half of a game this season the most they allowed in an SEC game to this point was 40 at Georgia we turned the tables on the Bulldogs in the second half a little bit more of a challenge to do that in this one Casey with a uh 22 Point deficit you're right but it's possible I mean look at their numbers for the first half they closed by hitting six shots in a row and they're shooting 19 for 30 63% 7 for 11 from downtown 64% and 5 for six from the line we just need to do a little something to creep like in this game Meanwhile we're 10 of 28 36% for the floor but only three of 10 from downtown and five of eight to the line yeah the Gamecocks out of the gate had a great start by making their first two three-pointers and then only made one of their next eight attempts and it really was like all over they started off pretty quickly in the first stanza Gamecock made their first three shots overall their first two three-pointers at the First Media timeout they had nine points and really the only drawback at that point was that they turned it over twice and had given up four offensive rebounds but after that Auburn cranked it up they were four for 10 at that point so you think about it at their last 20 shots they made 15 well it's hard to beat somebody if they're going to shoot that way but thank goodness for having two halves and you you can't make it all up at one time just little by little got to try to creep back into this game I think we can game Cox LED in scoring in the half by Colin Murray Bo who continues to ascend he had 11 first half points with six rebounds and a steel Mei Johnson chipped in with 10 points as well for the Gamecock but that was about it you take away the eight field goals that those two hit 16 attempts the rest of the game were two for 12 got to get some other guys involved well pinch points Tigers 18 Carolina zero that tells another version of a pretty disappointing tale so far in a place where a lot of opponents tend to be disappointed second half playby playay coming your way next after this message from Zips Carwash hey Gamecock fans score big savings this basketball season at

Tap Room in the Vista would love to have you come on out and join us for that program which gets started at 6:00 p.m. if you can't make it out tune it in here on the Gamecock Sports network from learfield Liberty Tap Room and Grill is hockey's favorite place to eat in the Vista with Casey Manning I'm Derek Scott South Carolina to try and win the second 20 minutes and if they win it by enough that it makes things interesting at the end all the better but Casey I think that's part of the joy of getting off to this great start in League Play and with this whole season that when you have to play in venues as tough as this one it's not as painful as it might be otherwise if you're having a tough night as Carolina has been so far in this contest play begins with the Gamecocks in possession of the basketball and BJ Mack trying to back down against Jaylen Williams spins off to his left side puts a shot up off the glass no gets his own offensive rebound and makes the stick back good effort by PJ that's what we needed to start the half absolutely he was getting his back worked over by Jaylen Williams as he was working in the low post and if you'd watch that you'd think this was a wrestling match that no whistles and eventually BJ wins with the stick tutiven that gives him six points he had early buckets for the game C or an early bucket then didn't score again at the other end Janai broom backs down on Murray Bo puts up an airball he thinks he was fouled Bruce Pearl letting the officials have it game Cox's with possession of the ball as Mei Johnson gets knocked down pushed over the timeline no call so me's got it again and he will drive and throw it up off the glass and in up four run get way to start Mei just had to get that one up quickly off his opposite foot he shot it off his left foot before broom could get to it and reject that shot 50 to 32 your score Carolina gets the first four points and now here's broom again trying to drive the Baseline and they'll call the foul on Colin Murray Bo his second both teams called for seven personal fouls in half number one so it will be Auburn with the Baseline out of bounds on the basket 2hour left in this sold out Neville Arena inbounds comes to Moore Chris Moore who hasn't scored feeds to Williams Williams in the post shoots the jump hook and misses gcx finally see a miss out of the hands the big number two who had 16 first half points to Long Cooper turns it over Steel by Donaldson here he comes in transition to the rim scores it and he's fou wow little too casual there from ton he tried to throw a little no look hacket pass coming off the ball screen and Auburn's just too good defensively to get away with anything that's not done with some real absolute approach and that run out results in an and one opportunity now for Trey Donaldson Zack Davis called for personal number one and as you can hear that ball striped the net Donaldson made the free throw he's got nine started the last six games for them at point guard and this really surged offensively came in averaging seven a game during that stretch and he's over seven here now a near turnover Gameco keep possession but barely diving play there from BJ Mack Up and Under reverse for Murray Bo misses the shot and then a foul is called they'll call it on Janai broom was a late whistle after Murray Bo missed the reverse layup Terry Oglesby as as we've talked about a lot this year the officials don't call the foul until after they see if the shot is made or missed it was missed and as they showed the replay on the video board it was most certainly a foul crowd thought that because the whistle was late that it was going against South Carolina but it was on Broom is second and Murray Bole shoots a pair first free throw is good Colin now four of five at the strike 61% on the seat during the seven game winning streak he's averaging 13 points 6.7 rebounds per game 2.7 assists per game he has nine blocks and 11 steals he's done it all and he's scoring again tonight he makes both of those he's got 13 here's a three that comes up short off the hands of Denver Jones and the rebound belongs to Mei Johnson so Auburn cooling off a little to begin this second half they are one for their first four nii drives down the right side hung up on the Baseline kicks it out to Murray boils crowd one it to travel didn't get it Cooper will try a step back three that comes up short rebound belongs to Auburn and then a foul is called on BJ Mack as Williams grabbed that rebound and the Collision knocked him to the ground BJ gets his second [Music] burst Danon Cooper who during this winning streak has really been such a barometer he has been the success of this team had equaled his success having really the toughest game we've seen in a while for him only two points had that turnover a few moments ago oh boy Auburn had a bad pass that should have been a turnover and no one for South Carolina got to the loose ball shot clock down to five as Donaldson on the left wing finds broom cutting to the basket and he scores it through contact Carolina finally had the shot clock winding down but they could not finish the possession ji broom continues to be a tough customer around the basket PJ ma in the low post he's fou shot won't go but again he used the ball fake there to get Jaylen Williams off his feet he did that on the first possession of the game and now he gets it done here early in the second half and Mack will go back to the line to shoot two [Music] substitutions for both teams waiting at the scorers Table after BJ attempts this free throw food line of course the proud sponsor will the score to give more program this season as BJ makes the first one food line has donated 30,000 meals to help our neighbors in need G Cox will get jacobe Wright on the floor Johnson as ton Cooper sits down no excuse me Zack Davis sits down Josh gray was coming in but then he realized the man he was trying to replace is got to shoot another free throw BJ puts it up and puts it in and now he'll get a rest so BJ with four early second half points give him eight for the game Carolina Trails It 5536 Good Start offensively in the second half Casey but have only shaved three points off this deficit got to find a way to get some more stops that's been the problem getting stops Cheney Johnson in the low post backing in and the Gamecocks called for the reach in that was Mei Johnson who did it trying to help out his teammate who was guarding Janie Johnson and that's two on Mei and 14 fouls you saying four fouls already goodness grief we haven't even played four minutes blob on the inbounds to broom catches it against gray puts it up with the left hand misses the shot rebound slapped out of bounds by Auburn Gamecock will get it back so they do get a stop now they got to deal with that full court man-to-man pressure Carolina gets it in and now Mei will bring it ahead Chad Baker mazara back on the flo for Auburn here's a drive to the hoop for Mei and he draws contact but he went right into the chest of the Tigers quick first step to get an edge on Trey Donaldson and broom came over to help they'll give the personal to Donaldson and that'll get us to a timeout Mei Johnson at the free throw line when we come back we've played 4 minutes and 2 seconds here in the second half Carolina still down by 19 5536 but a much sharper performance in those first four minutes of the second half and we'll return here to Auburn after this message from Toyota today's highlight is brought

farmers and chefs you can enjoy locally grown food at any table visit certified scc.com it is a matter of taste well second half two for four for Carolina open woods from downtown but four for four for the line that's important uh the Tigers two of six the field over for one from downtown one of one from the free throw line and little by little you got to get a stop or two and uh make some basket and we were talking about you want to win the second half and then see if you can win it by enough to make things interesting well they won the first segment of the second half 8 to five and as you mentioned it was largely because they got themselves to the line by attacking Auburn around the basket we mentioned earlier in this game that Auburn's opponents get 24% of their offense from free throws and South Carolina tracking that way right now they've got nine of their 36 points from the free throw line as Mei makes his first attempt well that craws in it came in a little low just barely creeping over the front of the cylinder but a nice soft touch for Bei an 81% free throw shooter out of the deep Crouch second one settles in as well giv him 14 best offensive performance as far as scoring we've seen from meei in a while of course his distribution skills have been on display a lot here in the last five games here's a lob and a tip attempt by Cardwell that's no good game Cox Come Away With Another Empty trip for the Tigers here's ton Cooper driving deep kicks to Mei way downtown this one rattles out Cardwell pushes Josh gray in the back and he is called for the personal foul that was deep but if he if mei's feeling it we know sometimes he can knock that shot down that was at least 10 ft behind the three-point Arc B and cardwells is second four now on the Tigers here in the early second half inbounds from the Baseline comes out to Murray boes in the high post guarded by ktie Johnson smaller Defender now chased in the corner double team had the ball knock free and it's a turnover mercy me what a frustrating mistake there by the Gamecocks and now ton Cooper trying to guard Cheney Johnson in the low post backs him in shoots up the turnaround jumper got it Johnson 67 and 220 he transferred in from a division 2 program University of Alabama at Huntsville and has become one of their contributors here's a spinning move from Mei Johnson that misses and Auburn quickly rebounds and pushes it the other way it's 5738 Tigers game Cox were down at the half by 22 Holloway three no rebound Mei Tigers now two of seven here in the second half Gamecocks get a layup as they beat Auburn down the floor find Colin Murray Bo's great fate Defender sails by and then he goes up for the layup little by little down 17 15 for Murray Bole that leads the Gamecock DJ ma coming back to the scores table and here's a trip and a shove by jacobe Wright 15 fou on this yeah man that's the problem you're going to get these guys in the bonus way too quick and some of these fouls like that one just absolutely pointless Murray Bo will get AR rest Josh gray out as well as study and Mack returned 1415 on the clock here in the second half it's 5740 Auburn side court inbounds for the Tigers right by Bruce Pearl feated it in out top ktie Johnson has it didn't score in the first half he'll try a three here and he'll get it Mercy K Johnson first points of the game for the veteran KD Johnson the Atlanta native began his career at the University of Georgia had 18 against the game Cox in the game way back in 2012 22 lead back to 20 here's Mei in the paint feeds it to BJ BJ gets his man off his feet and that is a hard foul from Dylan Cardwell and LaMont Paris wants that one looked at on the monitor Cardwell immediately picks Mac up and gives him a big hug but they will come and look at the monitor to see if that one is flagrant back again with a great head and shoulders fake to get the defender off his feet and Cardwell I think probably had a frustration that he was going to be guilty of another foul came down with a very hard foul to make sure Matt couldn't score and that looked like it had enough oomph behind it that yeah they're going to have to come look at it and see if there's more to it than just a common foul bj at least will be shooting two game Cox might get a flagrant which would mean two shots and the ball 60 to 40 your scores our stat monitor is Frozen Frozen we'll see if we can ah looks like our uh Wi-Fi is empty let's see if our buddy Mike debates our media relations Maven can help us out by getting us back into the wireless system meanwhile it's an official review brought to you by cool care heating air plumbing and Refrigeration let cool care assist with your HVAC and Plumbing Systems they offer free estimates and second opinions cool care also offers 100% financing with credit approval check them out online hvac.com to schedule a visit today our two officials have come out from under the headsets now they're going to go to the benches and they'll let Lamont Paris know what the decision is I can't read lips it doesn't matter he had his back to me so it wasn't going to matter I'm guessing it's going to be a flagrum but we'll wait and see what is decided if we get an official announcement well raising one thing or so yeah based on the re response the reaction from the Auburn bench specifically Steven Pearl the coach's son I think is definitely a flagrant because he seemed very disenchanted with the decision and honestly if you look at the monitor I don't see how you could be that was unnecessary contact and BJ Mack will shoot free throws and then the Gamecock will have the basketball crowds booing as they likely should as the home team as BJ makes his first but that was the right call third personal and Dylan Cardwell one more for Mack and then the Gamecocks will have possession DJ got them both Gamecocks making their free throws after a bit of a slow start at the line now they are 13 of 16 a perfect eight of eight here in the second half they've outscored Auburn at the free throw line 13 to six now it's a baseline out of bounds as ton will bounce it in the corner to BJ guarded closely by Janai Brun starts to back him down spins on him get gets to the rim traveled got away with it makes the layup we'll take it well look for run two free throws in the basket and here comes Auburn quickly to the other end broom posting up on Mack and he misses the leftand layup and the rebound crash she knocked out of bounds Auburn will keep it and Coach Paris frustrated study had inside rebounding position and Baker mazara just went right over top of him and they say the ball was last touched by study as well an opportunity to miss there got to be more physical when you're the under the basket screening out you got a brace for com for contact you know it's coming as aggressive these tigers are so the Gamecocks had a chance for a stop there don't get it and now it'll be a dunk from chai broom as Cheney Johnson was backing down in the low post and Gamecock Scott called ball watching as broom Dove to the rim got the feed and flushed it Fifth field goal for Janai broom he's got 11 6244 game Cox still don't have a single point from a nonstarter 180 with our last check Cooper tough hallway jumper and it rattles out had his former buddy Janai broom in his face there and now quickly Auburn again hurries it down and gives it to broom and the Gamecocks bat away a pass but broom gets it back and he'll try a three and he gets it unbelievable I'm telling you when it rains it pors and it is a Morton salt com tonight for the Gamecock they get a deflection can't come up with the turnover and Auburn calmly gets a three-pointer from their 6'10 post player his second three of the contest he's got 14 now and the lead back to 21 for the Tigers Mei step back long two left it short jacobe R has the offensive rebound Baseline jumper sails it over the rim that's an air ball not a good night for jacobe at all but again like we said the Gamecocks reserves haven't really done a thing tonight they haven't gotten much at all in the way of help from anybody who wasn't in the starting lineup so Auburn with some momentum again and a foul called on jacobe r as they cleared out there and let Denver Jones work on jacobe and he'll get his third personal and that'll get us a timeout 11:49 remaining gamec had a run but Auburn answers it's 6544 tigers and we're back after this from terminates roaches or Pal metal bugs no matter what you call them they're downright

South Carolina basketball lives here the South Carolina Gamecocks are headed to the final four the Gamecock Sports [Music] Network feed the fire the SEC fire never gets colder make it smolder feed it more Deb more fervor and fever Stoke with raw emotion and Believers Allegiance is the spark tradition is the ignition and the chaos is the kindling drown out the distractions doubts that don't care feed the fire feed it [Music] more well it just a battle between the starting lineups tonight the Gamecock would be ahead 44- 42 unfortunately it's not and Auburn's reserves their bench have outscored the Gamecocks bench 23 to nothing and that means Auburn has a 6544 lead here with 1149 left well give the Tigers credit uh 17 assists on 258 baskets already in this game and they average uh 17.8 assist a game they're already there they're fourth in the nation in bench points they average over 35 per contest so no surprise they've gotten 23 but Carolina has just gotten nothing from the non-starters tonight in today's fast-paced world you'll really appreciate Sansbury Ice Center selection style Comfort price and 1 hour service what you'll love most of all however is the Precision of your vision that's what a bright clear SSB day is all about foul on jacobe gives Auburn the basketball on the Baseline six foul in South Carolina Tigers will be in the bonus the rest of the contest Jones drives through the lane misses the floater ton Cooper comes away with the rebound Janai broom just kind of threw BJ Mack to the ground but in the process of doing that he couldn't get to the ball and Cooper grabbed it Carolina back of the offensive end Zach Davis at the top of the key feed St study on the wing down low to Mack PJ backing in KD Johnson gets the foul misses the shot great effort again from BJ on the mismatch in the low post po team CO's running everything everything through big BJ so far here in the second half second foul on KD Johnson make it his third actually two free throws for BJ who's already attempted four in the half and he makes another one Bruce Pearl in his press conference yesterday basically said BJ's like a 270 lb shooting guard he he he really was praising him when he said it he wasn't saying negative but really PJ in this game has not been able to get it going from the perimeter he hasn't gotten many looks at there he's only attempted two three-pointers they've done a good job of taking him out of there and so he's gone to work in the low post he makes two more free throws here 10 points already in the second half for Mack 14 in the game so he's right at his average of 13.6 Carolina down 65 46 broom left alone will try a three he hits again are you kidding me this crazy Janai broom has three three-pointers Jaylen Williams has three three-pointers they are the starting power forward and Center for Auburn and this is not an offense that usually plays those guys outside Kon Cooper having trouble with the dribble nearly gets his pocket pick gives instead to Murray Bo who fakes a pass drives to the rib and lays it in with the right hand many points great composure there for muray boils as he got it in the high post and it was a two-on one looked off the defender made him think it was going to be a pass and just Euro steing for the layup Here Comes Williams driving in the low post he'll shoot the turnaround jumper over Murray Bo and he's got another one will Jaylen Williams and Janai broom we knew coming in they have been in five sec home games shooting a combined 60% from the field 62% from three-point territory and they have stayed in character tonight BJ jumper on the Baseline double pump air ball Auburn rebounds quick out of pass ahead to KD Johnson he'll pull up and try a three he misses that and Murray Bo has the rebound broom and Williams are a combined 14 of 22 and they are combined seven of nine on three-pointers Zack Davis has his pocket picked by KD Johnson who then has the ball knocked free going down floor Auburn comes away with the ball and then mil study commits a foul and they're going to call it an intentional foul some frustration there from study and officials are going to huddle up and send both teams to their benches I couldn't see from our angle what exactly was so egregious about that foul we'll get a look at it again here as they come over for a replay review and it's brought to you by cool care heating air plumbing and Refrigeration to schedule your official preventive maintenance review give them a call it'll keep everything dribbling along cool care has been recognized as multi-year winners of the state the free times and Columbia Metropolitan magazine's best of Columbia Awards call the best today study's second personal foul we'll see if it is viewed to be a flagrant 70 to 48 Auburn with 926 remaining let's pause 10 seconds for station identification this is Gamecock basketball from learfield again the officials have taken a look at the monitor they're out from under the headset and it looks like it will be a flagrant one on mil study he intensely pulled him down by the shoulder unnecessary that steal by the Auburn Tigers was Carolina's ninth turnover of the game that is significant because Auburn meanwell has only three Gamecocks are not a team Casey the four is a lot of turnovers but give Auburn credit they have not been sloppy with the ball at all so on point here throughout this contest well you know uh floorida let him from wire to wire and uh they try to make up for that lost down in Jamesville they've done sever uh so

that's about the only thing he's missed tonight the airball one in the first half on an and one opportunity he makes one of two here broom now heating up in the second half has 18 points his running mate Jaylen Williams also with 18 and should have been a turnover on the inbounds Gamecocks just have not been really as sharp as normal and broom will hit another three-pointer this has gotten ridiculous now again they they throw a lob on the inbounds to no one and the Gamecocks can't find the ball so they do not get the turnover and then Janai broom Globs in yet another three and now South Carolina turns it over again and as KD Johnson goes for the dunk Colin Murray boils with a hard foul to make sure he doesn't get it and the foul will be called on Murray Bo and KD Johnson will shoot too Carolina was chipping away at this lead but now Auburn has grabbed command once again by making five of their last seven shots and they forced a couple turnovers in the process they have reasserted themselves they really have ktie Johnson to shoot two there have been some some plays in this game that nothing you can do but just shake your head I mean that last one perfect example bad decision on the inbounds pass should have been a turnover Carolina never saw the ball and it bounced aimlessly Auburn got to it and then Janai broom lobs in another three he's got four threes in the game and as we said he and Williams have combined to go eight of 10 from three-point territory as KD Johnson makes both free throws those four threes for bman new crew high from downtown oh I'm not surprised he was a 29% shooter last year we knew he had improved but he has six 16 of them on the season before tonight and now he's got four tonight I mean that's crazy there's a foul on the Tigers as Colin Murray boils working against Jaylen Williams gets the whistle 848 remaining the lead for the Tigers has reached 28 points M I'm sorry of the Alabama game second half Murray Bo on the front end of the one and bonus makes his shot he may be struggling a little bit defensively against Jaylen Williams and again and uh Janai broom but boy he has been on point yet again here offensively tonight 18 points for Colin Murray Bo with seven rebounds looking for his 19th Point as Cooper comes back in replaces stude and Murray Bo makes another seven of eight at the line tonight which is uh his best shooting like in the line I think Gamecocks are 17 of 20 as a team that has been one of the few bright spots in this one here's Brun driving on Gray has his shot blocked the Gamecocks do finally pick up a loose basketballs Mei squeezes that one brings it into the front Court Mei will drive shoots the runner won't go rebound tipped out of bounds and it goes back to Auburn Mii with 14 Mack with 14 Murray boils with 19 and that is just about it for the game CS only three other points and meanwhile for Auburn seemingly no one can miss this time is Chad Baker mazara pulling up for the jump shot at the free throw line and sinking it they are back up to 50% now in the second half at 10 of 20 the crazy number though is he 11 of 18 on three-pointers they average 7.7 threes a game they are just night and day different team home versus away here's a deflection on the pass for Murray Bo knocked out of bound by Williams Gamecock will keep it and we get a timeout 744 remaining all

Gamecocks of course come in as one of the best in the country they had held nine of 11 SEC opponents to five or fewer three-pointers and Auburn not a team that's necessarily that deadly typically from three-point territory it's 7.7 a game and a 33 % shooting percentage from downtown they just can't miss tonight and the crazy part is Casey it's been their bigs their bigs have been Sensational from downtown Williams four of five from downtown gr four of five from downtown so eight of their 11 from the B out that's unbelievable Gamecocks are the best when it comes to basketball but Terminix is the best when it comes to Pest Control they're headquartered in South Carolina Terminix has been trusted for 75 years to keep your homes and business bu is pest free we couldn't have done it without fans like you so thank you call 1800 Terminix to schedule your service Casey had a chance before the game both of us to visit with our old buddy Sunny Smith the longtime Auburn coach and now longtime analyst for the Auburn radio network Sunny is how many years young he said he was 95 but he's only 87 kidding 87 and still at it he is a delight here's a drive to the basket by Josh Gray trying to beat the shot clock he threw up a reverse that didn't go and in transition it is a missed layup but a goal tending call in the game Cox Mur Bo went up and swatted that one but it had already hit the backboard and the basket will count I believe for Denver Jones and Colin Murray boils will get arrest after that goal tending call the lead has reached 30 80 to 50 here's a three ball attempt from Morris UGA way short barely Drew iron and that leads to another run out Auburn but there's ugas intercepting the lob attempt leaped high and came away with it now he'll bring it into the front Court his man falls down Morris does not take advantage of the five on four and the Gamecock set it up again out near midcourt me Johnson dribbles it down to the low post guarded there by Denver Jones backs him in and scores the layup on the spin move me has found his rhythm again 6 and the half 16 in the game for Mei Johnson Carolina having a rough night now Mei steals the ball away from the Tigers and he is wrapped up by Chad Baker mazara and he is furious about it and I don't blame him he was just trying to dribble it down courton Baker mazara should been intentional he put a complete bear hug on Mei and Mei didn't like it at all now Mei getting emotional and talking to the Auburn b as well and his teammates will get him and bring him back to his bench area a year F 28 point well I mean I got to be honest Auburn plays with this sort of edge bordering on um over the line pretty regularly when they at home and playing in front of their home crowd they play to this crowd and they kind of like a pro wrestling scene they can play the heel pretty well we've see it from Dylan Cardwell a lot Baker mazara although it's his first year in the program has proven to be a guy that fits that villain mode pretty well also he's very kind of hotheaded we've seen him barking at the officials a lot uh When Calls have gone against him he will get this personal foul and then the official are back to the monitor for another replay review brought to you by cool care heating air plumbing and Refrigeration schedule your official preventive maintenance review with them and they'll keep everything dribbling along cool care recognized as multi-year winners of the state the free times and Columbia Metropolitan magazine's best of Columbia Awards I hate to say it but I kind of had a feeling this would be a game where you had a lot of monitor reviews because again Auburn at home they play with an edge and they will get under your skin in a hurry especially when things are going their way and that's of course been the case for 40 minutes tonight everything has gone their way they can't miss from three uh they can't miss from two uh they've done everything they needed to do to sort of get back in after that loss to Florida I didn't blame Mei at all for being upset with how he was manhandled there by Chad Baker mazara and he gave him a pretty good shove so wouldn't be surprised if they end up penalizing both of them in some capacity they are still taking a long look at the monitor on this one as both teams remain in their huddles yeah Josh gray is the one that stepped in and played Peacemaker and separated the two so is Josh has shove that pushed Baker mazara back but Mei was right up in his chest before that so first I thought Mei had really given Baker Mazar sh but I really think that was the fact that there was a huge man in between them that was basically being the separator so let's hope the officials recognized it that same way as I interpreted it we will see how this one goes a man to my left who's having to handle all these reviews make all the notes that go along with it he's had his hands full tonight he's been busy busy busy busy five or six reviews who had feels like it yeah and the officials are still huddled up now they've come out from under the headsets but they have not explained to anyone else what the call is going to look [Music] like he getting a word from kry rich as he comes back out on the floor positive messaging keep your head kid and so they will pull these two teams back to their [Music] huddles and they're going to have a little one-on-one conversation with the combatants if you will as Keith Kimble's talking directly to Mei right now and I believe down in the Auburn huddle one of the officials is probably having a similar conversation with Chad Baker mazara and it looks like Mei is going to the line and we still have not gotten any sort of uh answer as to what this call is exactly going to be if there's a flagrant one on Baker mazara if there's flr one on him and something on Mei as well looks like the flag one flagrant one of is Baker Maura for sure because Mei is at the free throw line and there's no one else in the Lane with him crow of course booing lustily as they hope Mei misses which he does not Mei of course had a huge opener in conference play with 24 against Mississippi State his offensive numbers have waned lately but he stepped it up tonight in a big way and he makes both of these free throws he's got 18 points and now there will be free throws for Auburn they're going to say there was also I guess a flagrant on Mei Johnson and that will be Denver Jones who shoots those free throws and he sinks the first one joon's 90% for the line came in 45 with 50 well that's why he's chosen to shoot them that's for sure and he gets both of those seven points for Denver Jones and so the two teams just trade buckets so to speak two points a piece and Auburn will have possession it's 8254 tigers with 638 remaining as play resumes Baker Mazzara pulled out of the lineup by Bruce Pearl which is probably in everybody's best interest here's Jones driving on ugas goes the lob to Cardwell passes too high and game Cox Come Away with a basketball with this big lead no surprise tiger tigers are trying to come up with highlight plays on nearly every possession Cooper driving the right Baseline Up and Under misses the layup Josh gray tips the rebound and runs it down gives it back to Cooper on the perimeter and he'll drive again this time with the left hand shot blocked by Carswell Cardwell I should say but a foul call he been Act tonight has he cardwell's been very very active again he he plays to this crowd so effectively that his energy level really goes up when he is playing at home seen him for four years out of himan Cooper with only two points in this contest he makes a free throw here kame Coxs now have in this game 19 excuse me 20 of there's 55 points have come at the free throw line CP gets both and we will see Steven Clark check in for the first time tonight they had mck and gray playing together we haven't seen that lineup combo much at all this year but now BJ gets arrest as Steven Clark makes his first appearance in five games he had set out the last four the gr transfer from the CIT and on the perimeter he doesn't he didn't get a hand up on Jaylen Williams and Williams buries another three-pointer I don't know unguarded if Williams could make that M eight of 10 from the field five of six on three-pointers and again joined by Janai brooms four five on three-pointers 93s from their starting interior players here's a drive from Mei Johnson finger roll up and good from low on the left Mei still going at it he has been in attack mode really throughout this second half you been 20 points for the game Carolina trailing at 8558 as we come to the 5 minute Mark here's a long two up and good for Donaldson Donald my goodness this Bunch can't miss anything tonight KY I wonder sometimes does that make it go down a little easier you're getting really beat up on which stinks but when the other team just can't seem to miss the two halves you have an easier time saying H nothing we can do about it if they're going to make shots from all over as Mei hits another pullup jumper for South Carolina well it only counts as one Hill exactly right and the Gamecocks taking a loss to a team ranked 13th in the country Williams going to try another three this one finally off the rim and no good Mei has the rebound Cox see Mei try a deep three no good Clark has the offensive rebound dribbles back out on the perimeter and for Auburn Williams hit the deck in a heat Jaylen Williams laid out on the hardwood seems to be in some real pain and play was stopped because he was face down on the court right under the basket and it was going to be a danger to play on with that situation team doctor will come out athletic trainer for Auburn to attend to him as he rolls over and is getting up and we're going to have another replay review Bruce Pearl comes all the way out of the coach's box and across midcourt it seems to be upset he's very upset and uh we know again we know how Bruce can act he will try his best to influence officials by losing his mind in situations and in this one that's exactly what he did and so the officials go back to

right on top of the Court they've done a great job with their atmosphere tonight and the officials still looking at the monitor we thought with the replay review monitor right next to us we'd really be able to see something but you really can't you can't tell as much because the view that we have is has nine different camera angles being looked at and looks like we've got a Timeout on the floor

and then bring [Music] more well they did end up calling a flagrum foul on Steven Clark who they said hit Williams in the face with his right hand when he was pursuing that offensive rebound so Williams shot two free throws and made both of them and now Auburn will have the basketball and Williams will check out Gamecocks have also made some substitutions we see Benjamin boseman's Verdon on the floor for the first time tonight and pbv hasn't played the last seven games so he and Steven Clark both have been out of the rotation and they'll play late in this contest KD Johnson with a spin and the drive to the it and he lays it up and in Auburn you know what they want they want 100 points yeah they want triple digits it's 9160 with under four minutes left and now uguk has his pocket picked by KD Johnson who drives to the rim Clark blocks his shot and they call a foul on Steven Clark who has a look on his face of uh let's just say dissatisfaction he did not think he did anything to get a foul there he got all ball up top we know that much but they called the foul on the body KD Johnson will shoot a pair I would argue that ktie Johnson had more body contact on Mor zasu when he stole the ball from him than Clark had on Johnson on the shot attempt but right now the officials trying to keep this thing from boiling over yeah boiling over good word good phrase Johnson makes his first one more for the senior and he got both of those N9 and a half for ktie Johnson who was scoreless in the first half 9360 your score Kobe Wright Steven Clark Benjamin boseman's verun moruga suck of Miles study on the court Gamecock starting lineup has all been pulled study backs down against leor Burman misses the jump hook gcog bench still scoreless tonight studio for three has it been able to give Carolina any contributions this evening and as we said that's been a bench wide problem Aiden hway The Freshman point guard running things out top jacobe right guarding him they set a ball screen on him he splits the ball screen has the ball knock free it's loose on the floor it's picked up by Auburn and they call a bump on the Gamecock with 1.9 seconds left on the clock as chady Johnson was feverishly driving trying to get a shot up before the shot block expired Steven clar I then they gave it to that was a cheapy and really one of those again like we said it's almost like the officials are going to overcompensate now and call everything that will maybe get Bruce Pearl to calm down a little bit Johnson makes his first he'll have one more he makes both one thing about about it it's gotten to the point that the two schools in Alabama have become really powerhouses in basketball and they've also become the guys who are the least likable opponents that you play during the course of the Season it starts unfortunately sometimes with coaching personalities and certainly Blends over to the players game Coxs turn it over again bad pass by study stolen by Johnson he'll throw the L and card dwell goes up and flushes it and again Playaz to the crowd as he comes back down the floor arms in the air asking for more noise 9760 your score AUB pouring it on South Carolina here in the lake going and a foul called on the Tigers as KD Johnson bumps Jacobi right in a double team so jacobe will shoot two well it it rais his PO is 10 over run the last minute 54 12 the two

fun is BU yeah you know how out in the middle and know where you are because the bus trip we'll have will be longer than the flight that we will have As jacobe Leaves the first free throw short and Auburn will now really clear the bench and they will bring a number of folks on the court that we haven't seen prior to tonight and now similar to what we see at Colonial Life Arena when there's chickfila on the line Auburn hoping to get something out of two Miss free throws and they will as jacobe has the second one spin out as well and the Gamecock scoreless night from the non-starters continues even free throws won't go in 9760 or score as we go under the two-minute Mark here is Harper pull up jumper airball Steven Clark pulls it down Harper is the younger brother of the former Auburn great guard Jared Harper moruga suck will try a three for South Carolina off the back of the iron and over the backboard no good Auburn gets it back Carolina Ford dealers locker room report

will try a long jumper and a pull up and he gets it it's going in for everybody on this Auburn team tonight leor Burman who averages 1 and A2 points a game hits the pull up to make it 9960 miles study misses is another jumper short arm that and Auburn has the rebound and with a minute left they'll have a chance to break triple digits minut bman on the left wing brings it back out top to Harper Harper against tugas Drive spins floater up and good there's the last Benchmark they wanted y they break a 100 here against South Carolina in the final minute of play and now a foul called on or bman fighting through a screen by Steven Clark Steven Clark will now try to get the Gamecock bench on the scoreboard with two free throws in the final minute of play and that one goes in just over the front of the iron it will be good to get back home on Saturday and then to have an off performance as well Gamecocks do not have a midweek game next week second free throw missed by Clark Auburn has it and they will walk it into the front Court Blake MUSC dribbling it out near midcourt there's about 12 seconds excuse me yeah 12 seconds difference between shot clock and game clock I don't know if Auburn will try and score again or Bruce Pearl has told them just to let the shot clock expire looks like it is the ladder horn sounds 10.9 seconds left and the Gamecock will have one final possession trailing at 101 to 61 it has been a rough night one that Carolina will look to forget as soon as they can inbounds Dugas suck he will walk it across the timeline and let the clock wind out 5 seconds
