South Carolina picks up their second straight win against Eastern Michigan 74-64. This was the perfect ending to 2022 for the Gamecock men.
Emoni Bates absolutely torched the Gamecocks, going for an impressive 36 points, 25 of which came in the second half. Bates also connected on an absurd 8 three-pointers on 15 attempts. With a steal and six more rebounds to add to that, which was second on the team for this game, Bates was everywhere he could be for the Eagles.
The Gamecocks were able to slow down Noah Farrakhan tremendously, which was a huge part of the victory.
