Tigers won the tip, and Simms hit a 3 to start the game! He is 3 for his last 4 beyond the arc. Tigers are down 12-6 now, though. Not a great crowd here with all the students gone. Still, might be the best crowd so far this season. |

Ugh Lawson answers with a 3. Told you he would be a problem. He has 9 already to lead all scorers, half of SCAR's points. Tigers trail by 5. |

SIMMS FOR 3!!! I asked Brownell on Friday about his improved shooting from 3 the last couple games, and sure enough, he is 2-2 from 3 today, 4 of his last 5! Tigers trail by 2 with 4 mins left in the half. |

Ugh Simms nearly ties the game, but the second free throw hit every part of the rim and went out. |

Simms picks up his second foul on a terrible call. Should have been a charge. Simms has 2 of the Tigers' 3 fouls for the half. |

Dawes makes a pair of free throws and gives the Tigers their first lead since 3-0! Simms is on the bench with the 2 fouls and 3 mins left in the half. |

TIGERS TRAIL 28-26 AT THE HALF. 3rd time this season they have trailed at the break. The teams have combined for 29 turnovers. I couldn't find an NCAA record for combined turnovers, but the record for steals is 39. |

Tigers trail by 9 now with 11:30 left. Gotta figure out how to score with Simms on the bench. There has been no passing the last several trips. |

Simms makes two more free throws to give him 21, but the Tigers still trail by 10 with 3 mins left. Simms leads all scorers. 2 more points will tie his career high. |

Good grief Bolden hits another dagger of a 3 to make the lead 13. That’s probably all she wrote.

TIGERS LOSE 67-54. 4th straight loss snaps a 3-year win streak against the Gamecocks. The teams almost got into a brawl after the game ended, with Tevin Mack and Jair Bolden getting in each other's faces. The refs had to break them up, and Frank Martin took his team to the locker room without shaking hands. Ugly, ugly game. The Tigers turned it over 22 times, and the Gamecocks 21. If that's not an NCAA record, it has to be close. The NCAA record for combined steals is 39. The Tigers have 40 turnovers in their last 2 games, and Brownell told me after that it's a big concern. They really miss Trapp right now. Simms had a great game with 21 points, going 5-7 from the field and 3-3 from 3, but he only played 25 minutes because he picked up his 4th foul with 12:30 left. Mack had probably his worst game, going just 1-8 with 3 points, and they need him to score at least double digits. Also, SCAR was 8-18 from beyond the arc, and they are just a 30% shooting team for the season. The Tigers' 3-point defense has cost them in the last two games now. FSU was 11-18 from 3 in the second half last week. |
