The Gamecocks closed their homestand on a disappointing note, dropping an 81-76 effort to Mississippi State. Frank Booker scored a career-high 25 points and Chris Silva added 18, but the two got little help from their teammates, and South Carolina was stuck trying to play catch up all night. Justin Minaya didn’t play with a sprained ankle, and Kory Holden still wasn’t ready to return from his hamstring injury. We’ll see if either of them can go against the Aggies, because depth issues have started to hit this team pretty hard.
