It was the second time in two weeks when USC had to face a top five team in the country, and for the second time in two weeks, the Cocks left with a W.
Top-ranked South Carolina (25-0, 12-0 SEC) defeated the third-ranked LSU Tigers (23-1, 11-1) Sunday afternoon in Columbia by the score of 88-64.
That victory was USC’s fifth against a ranked opponent, and it cements them as the only remaining undefeated team in the country.
As I just said, the Gamecocks have been in this situation before, having played multiple games of this magnitude whether at home or away.
