Top-ranked South Carolina (27-1, 15-1) concluded its regular season on a high note Sunday afternoon, taking down Ole Miss (22-7, 10-6) by the score of 71-57.
This was USC’s 15th straight win and its second win over the Rebels this year, although this one contained much more drama in comparison to the 29-point thrashing back in late January.
While the Gamecock offense continued to flow, the bigger story was the defense finally showing some signs of struggle, allowing an opponent to score at least 57 points for the first time since Jan. 6 against LSU (they scored 60).
