Brian Richardson comes out to start the second half with a great recovery and block. Ellington then hits a three pointer in transition and it is a good start for the Gamecocks.
I wonder if at halftime, the coaching staff told Ellington to shoot a little more. It appeared they wanted him to take some of the three point shots that he passed up in the first half.
Next offensive possession has what I assume is a drawn up play and it works to perfection. Ellington and Jackson crisscross at the block with Ellington setting a pick, Kacinas makes a nice entry pass to Jackson who gets a lay up and that gives the Gamecocks a five point lead and Mississippi State calls timeout.
Richardson with a three pointer and he now has six straight games in double digits.
Gamecocks now with 16 turnovers as Richardson as the ball poked away, Craig Sword then draws a blocking foul from Ellington and makes the lay up. Chance to cut the lead to just one on the free throw. He makes it and with 16:40, lead is 34-33 for the Gamecocks.
Great cut by Williams and Jackson finds him under the basket and the Gamecocks able to get a basket.
We have a timeout and Frank Martin just went all Frank Martin on Minda Kacinas. That was the first true Frank Martin moment I have seen all season. Just screaming at Kacinas, twice. Martin was not happy.
36-33 Gamecocks. 15:42 left in the game.
