The moment Daymeon Fishback said “we’ve got ourselves a ball game” on the SEC Network broadcast as South Carolina lead 4-2 (with less than two minutes gone by), I realized the game was in fact over.
At one point, South Carolina had just as many turnovers as they had made field goals (17 apiece). The Gamecocks battled back, cutting the Auburn lead to eight with less than six minutes remaining, but Auburn’s athleticism eventually took over in an 81-66 win for the Tigers.
Shooting was not an issue for Auburn, who finished the day shooting 51.8% from the floor and 42.9% from three.
Here are five takeaways from Auburn’s tenth straight win.
