Overtime letdown: Gamecocks drop wild one at Mississippi State | The State

A wild game in Starkville, Mississippi, ended South Carolina’s win streak Saturday.

Frank Booker missed a potential game-tying runner with 6.8 seconds left, allowing Mississippi State to grab a 72-68 win at Humphrey Coliseum.

The Gamecocks, seeking their first three-game winning streak since early December, dropped to 15-14 overall and 6-10 in the SEC. The Bulldogs (21-8, 9-7) outscored USC, 10-6 in overtime.

Hassani Gravett hit a buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of regulation to force OT. The shot was part of a five-point rally with under two minutes left in the second half.
