The Gamecocks stomped on by Tennessee in a historic rout 85-42
Jan. 07, 2022
Lamont Paris and the South Carolina men’s basketball team have a long way to climb. Hosting No. 8 Tennessee (13-2, 3-0 SEC) on Saturday one of two top-10 teams in the SEC — the rag-tag Gamecocks showed just how much of a disparity there is between them and the upper-echelon teams in the conference.
Paris’ team fell to the Volunteers 85-42 a historic deficit. The 43-point loss is the Gamecocks’ worst loss in a decade, after losing by 39 points at Florida in 2013. Saturday’s game is the second 30-plus point loss for Carolina this year, with the Gamecocks losing to Colorado State by 32 points in November.
The Gamecocks (7-8, 0-2 SEC) lost their second-straight game to start SEC play after dropping their conference opener in overtime at Vanderbilt on Tuesday. Carolina dips below .500 with a trip to Rupp Arena and Kentucky on deck next week.
