Inconsistent Gators follow Kentucky upset with loss to South Carolina

The No. 20 Florida Gators got some unlikely help off the bench, but the Gators lost a back-and-forth 77-72 game against South Carolina Wednesday night in the O’Connell Center.

Egor Koulechov entered Wednesday’s revenge game following a poor shooting performance against Kentucky Saturday night in Lexington, Ky., where he was 0 of 8 from the field for two points. Against the Gamecocks, who knocked the Gators out of the 2017 Elite Eight last season, Koulechov was 6 of 11 with 16 points and seven rebounds.

Koulechov said he was disappointed with the team’s hit-or-miss reaction in important games.
