Final Score: South Carolina 88 : Duke 81 First Half: The first half of the game proceeded at a very slow pace, due to the high number of missed field goals, including layups, and 2- and 3-point jumpers. On top of the low-accuracy shooting, both teams underwent numerous instances of turnovers and rebounds, which seldom led to points. As a result, the first half suffered from multiple segments of points stagnation during which neither team was able to score. For instance, it took about 4 minutes to reach a point where both teams had scored 4 points each, and for both teams, 2 of the 4 points were free throws. Also, following Frank Jackson’s 3-pointer at 9:24, the score remained South Carolina 14:21 Duke until another 3-pointer by Matt Jones at 13:03. Like so, the first half was summarized by long periods of points stagnation, and the majority of the scored points came from free throws following fouls. Second half: The second half of the game was an offensive explosion by South Carolina as they scored 65 points in route to victory. At the start of the second half, they trailed Duke by 7 points but a dunk by Chris Sliva with 15:24 remaining allowed South Carolina to pull ahead with a score of 39:38. Luke Kennard tried to maintain Duke’s momentum by hitting a 3-pointer to pull Duke back into the lead with a score of 39:41. However, Sindarius Thornwell quickly answered back with a 3-pointer of his own to put South Carolina back on top. From then on, South Carolina’s tight defense refused to allow Duke to get any momentum by forcing multiple missed shots, steals and turnovers. With 6.36 remaining and the score at 64:55, South Carolina was now fully in control. As the clock was winding down, Duke began to increasingly intentional foul but South Carolina held their nerve and sunk the free throws to eventually take the game 88 to 81.
