The South Carolina Gamecocks dropped their opener in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off Classic, but they’re still alive in the tournament’s consolation bracket. There wasn’t much the Gamecocks did well against Illinois State in their 69-65 setback, but where they really struggled was shooting: 30% from the floor, 28% from 3-point land, and 67% from the foul line. South Carolina also accumulated 32 fouls and saw two of its starters (Maik Kotsar and Chris Silva) foul out, which hampered its lineups and left inexperienced players on the floor for long stretches.
