Gamecocks up 11 and working it around, Muldrow gets picked off trying to hand to Downey. Alabama quickly down, whistle, should have been offensive foul but instead they call goaltending. Second foul on Downey as well and Hillman will get an and-1. He misses, 31-22 USC.

Jackson back to Downey at the top, boom for 3. 34-22 Gamecocks and he's got 12.

Brock with a quick rebound and coast. Downey falls down trying to defend him, then Raley-Ross misses a 3 and Brock does it again. 34-26 and USC will call a quick timeout.

Muldrow tries to dribble and gets stripped. Knox throws down a thunderous dunk, 34-28. Why Muldrow was handling the ball on the perimeter, I'll never know.

Raley-Ross down, gets stood up, tries to pass out and travels. Bama ball under its basket. Contact under, no call, Bama ball on the jump. Such a stupid rule.

Tide turn it over and Hillman is getting his wrist looked at. Jackson to Galloway in the corner, too much on the 3, no good. Brock to Torrance in the corner, lets fly, it's 34-31.

Galloway gets trapped, calls timeout in Bama's half of the court. Gamecocks having problems with Alabama's transition (no surprise) and its quick ball-handling -- that's a 9-0 run.
