South Carolina Tops Mississippi State, Halts 7-Game Skid

On Feb. 21, South Carolina Gamecocks defeated Mississippi State Bulldogs 97-89 in Columbia, snapping a seven-game losing streak and scoring a season-high 97 points.
Facing SEC Tournament pressure, USC needed a win to restore momentum before the Feb. 24 game hosting Kentucky.
Meechie Johnson paced the Gamecocks with 21 points and nine assists, as South Carolina executed an 8-0 first-half run and shot 23 of 27 from the free-throw line to secure the win.
The result leaves the South Carolina Gamecocks with a short turnaround before hosting Kentucky on Feb. 24, having matched last season's wins and improved their SEC total by one.
Limiting Josh Hubbard, SEC leading scorer, USC's defensive plan held him to 4 of 20 for 13 points, shaping the outlook for the remaining games.
