Hassani Gravett collected Felipe Haase’s short pass and carefully weaved his way up the floor, allowing the traffic to flow in front of him as the seconds ticked way in the first half. The South Carolina point guard finally found his landing spot on the right wing. With no Georgia Bulldog in his immediate way, Gravett rose from 21 feet and swished a 3.
This was how the opening period ended Wednesday at Colonial Life Arena. USC-UGA, a bi-annual rock-fight between a couple defensive-minded programs, produced a handful of highlights. The Gamecocks were featured more prominently in the show, particularly during a late first half stretch that sparked their 66-57 win.
