PITTSBURGH -- As the ball splashed through the bottom of the net in the first half of No. 11 Oregon's first-round meeting with No. 6 South Carolina, Jermaine Couisnard heard Jacobi Wright, his former teammate, start celebrating.
"It's cash," Wright said, according to Couisnard, as Wright's bucket gave the Gamecocks a three-point lead with 9:01 to go in the half Thursday.
Couisnard, who spent the first four years of his career at South Carolina before transferring to Oregon when coach Frank Martin was fired in 2022, was energized by Wright's trash talk.
