Final Score- South Carolina 77, LSU 73
> Live on-location in Atlanta, GA at the SEC Tournament
Not much of a game, as expected. South Carolina was led by DeWayne Day who was three rebounds short of a triple-double, scoring 12 points while dishing out 11 assists and grabbing 7 boards. The game looked over with a minute remaining and USC on top 73-64, however, poor free throw shooting by the Gamecocks and a couple of lucky three pointers by LSU made it a three point game with 20 seconds left. Marcus Thornton missed the open 3-pointer that would've tied it, and a Carolina free throw sealed it.
I wasn't very impressed with either team. For LSU, their season is now over, and interim head coach Butch Pierre can now begin his tenure at LSU, going 5-5 this season in ten games as the head coach of the Tigers once Brady resigned.
As for South Carolina, head coach Dave Odom will get to coach at least another game. The Gamecocks will get top-seeded Tennessee tomorrow in the first game of the second round. Carolina will have to play a lot better than they did today though, as they were outrebounded 42-27. They also went 50 percent from the foul strip, making 8 of 16.
Coming up next, Auburn versus Vanderbilt!
This game should be over after the first half, so I should be able to bring you scores and insights from around the nation before long.
The Vanderbilt fans are all here today, as they are loaded into their two assigned sections. The Auburn fans, however, are scarce. It's a good thing, too. Because in about 8 minutes they won't have much to cheer about.
Well there's five minutes left til tip-off and I'm off to get some more free food and drink.
