South Carolina men’s basketball just can’t catch a break—three straight SEC losses now, and this one at Auburn was within reach until the final seconds. Even with a short-handed roster (Ellis out in a walking boot), the Gamecocks fought back in the second half, shooting over 50%, but couldn’t overcome missed free throws and a slow start. Auburn’s defense and paint dominance made the difference. It’s tough to see the team so close, yet still falling short. What do you think is the missing piece for USC to turn these close games into wins? #Sports #Gamecocks #SEC
