South Carolina made it rain on a cold night at Auburn Arena, and Auburn's ball control was severely lacking.
Turnovers have been plaguing Auburn's offense lately, so naturally that trend continued tonight against South Carolina (14-0, 1-0 SEC). A thin bench due to injuries, early foul trouble, and a thunderstorm of three-pointers from the Gamecocks proved too much for the Tigers (7-6, 1-1 SEC) to overcome in an 81-69 loss at Auburn Arena.
What happened?
First Half:
It really seemed like the officiating favored South Carolina until the 12-minute mark—that's when South Carolina was called for its first foul of the game.
