South Carolina: The Gamecocks 17-0 run was highlighted by great defense. Xavier had no second chances, was contested on drives and couldn’t hit from the outside.

Key moment Xavier used 11-2 and 8-2 runs to regain the lead at 50-44. The Musketeers led by as much as 66-55 before South Carolina went on a 7-0 spurt. The Gamecocks would get no closer.

Key stat Xavier won despite shooting 4 of 18 from the 3-point line. The Musketeers had made at least 10 treys in their first five games.
