The best free-throw shooting night Georgia had so far was 23-27 when it was blown out by Kentucky.

But with the game on the line, it was Frazier who nailed a huge 3-pointer with 1:14 remaining to lift Georgia to a road upset win Thursday.

Frazier drove the lane and banked home the winning bucket.

"I do think that was the best game we've played all season", Wilson said. It was the third straight loss this season to the Gamecocks, who had beaten the Wildcats by 10 and 11-point margins earlier.

Mitchell scored 20 and A'ja Wilson 18 to lead five Gamecocks in double-figures. When the Razorbacks were able to run their offense, they too would find success, and started to shoot their way back into the game in the final eight minutes.

McNeese State opened the second half with a 16-4 run capped by Harvey's 3-pointer and led 62-40.

The Gamecocks won with defense - their calling card - and free-throw shooting. Morris ended the game with seven points and six rebounds. In all, South Carolina's perimeter players accounted for 57 of its 93 points.

The Gamecocks made 11 of 13 shots in the fourth quarter. "And this team kind of feeds off him to be honest with you". Gaines, a senior, averages 13.7 points.

Boosted by the defensive pressure, SC shot 54 percent as a team in the second half.

It was the fifth time Thornwell has topped 20 points in the game this season, though none of the other performances were as timely for a Gamecocks team that entered the game having lost two in a row and four of six overall. For the second straight game, Hannahs led the team in first-half scoring; he had seven points.

USC takes a two-game losing streak into Saturday's contest.

And then with Georgia down by four with 3:51 to play Gaines hit a corner-3 amongst the raucous of Colonial Life Arena. Lost for the first time in five games on neutral courts this season....

Despite the loss of its leading rebounder Michael Carrera, South Carolina dominated inside for the game, finishing with a 41-26 lead in rebounds.

Georgia: The Bulldogs are No. 1 - in strength of schedule, at least.

Mindaugas Kacinas had 21 points to lead SC.

What makes this game interesting is Georgia is on a short turn around. Thornwell finished with 16 points. Cuevas posted 15 points, her most against an SEC opponent this season. Georgia matched that mark tonight and needed every one in its win over the Gamecocks.

Mississippi State awaits it NCAA Tournament seeding and pairing.

South Carolina's Sindarius Thornwell (0) shoots a basket over Arkansas' Moses Kingsley (33), left, and Trey Thompson (1), right, in the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in Fayetteville, Ark., Saturday, March 5, 2016. They won a bunch of ball games and Frank's done a great job.

The teams had been tied four times, and there were four lead changes with the scored tied at 14-14, but the Hogs went 4:22 without a score and the visitors were steady, using great ball motion.

The NCAA Tournament field will be announced Monday. I wouldn't be surprised if this team wound up in the conferences semis. As good as that looked out there today for SC, I wouldn't trade places with them. Out of the initial timeout before that play, Coach Fox told me, 'If you get a good look, knock it down.

"We play in one of the toughest conferences in the country", Williams-Flournoy said. Both Gamecocks took just two foul shots. I missed a lot of threes and Duane (Notice) missed a lot of threes.
