South Carolina’s undefeated start to SEC play ended with a thud Saturday night in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
LSU jumped out to a big first half lead rolled the Gamecocks, 89-67, at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. USC (9-8 overall) dropped to 4-1 in league play as the Tigers (14-3) improved to 4-0.
For a third straight road game, USC got down double-digits. This time, though, there was no furious rally. The Tigers have won 17 straight at home. LSU had six players in double figures, led by Naz Reid’s 15. A.J. Lawson had 18 to lead Carolina.
