Auburn’s basketball team took a big hit in the closing moments of the first half against South Carolina. Trailing 45-26 to the Gamecocks with about 90 seconds to play before halftime, Desean Murray tried to take a charge as Wesley Myers drove into the lane.
Myers put up a floater, crashed into Murray, and Murray went backward as Anfernee McLemore came from behind. Murray’s shoulder rolled into McLemore’s ankle, breaking it badly. Both teams were visibly upset and most of Auburn’s players looked distraught with McLemore screaming in pain on the floor.
