Tonight’s game was a must-win for South Carolina and the Gamecocks played as such, completely dominating Kentucky all four quarters. After back-to-back losses, Mark Stoops told reporters he hopes the embarrassment will inspire a sense of urgency in his own squad, which desperately needs to regroup during the bye week.
“Very disappointed in the game and the way we played. Gotta give a lot of credit to South Carolina. They flat beat us, outcoached us, played better. Their backs were against the wall and they came in here and played a very good game.
