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, and Hunter too for that matter. Hunter played a little today but was very limited, and they need his ball handling. Dawes had a terrible game and was just out of control at times. Typical growing pains for a freshman. 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.

I'll have post-game interviews shortly!
