Ole Miss faces the No. 6 South Carolina Gamecocks after Starr Jacobs scored 22 points in Ole Miss' 68-66 victory against the Missouri Tigers.
There’s just one week remaining in the regular season for South Carolina women’s basketball. The Gamecocks need to be playing their “best basketball” right now, head coach Dawn Staley said. Not next week in Greenville for the SEC Tournament. Not in March for the NCAA Tournament.
Brad Sigmon, set for execution by firing squad on March 7, seeks a delay, citing concerns over South Carolina’s lethal injection process. If carried out, it would be the first U.S. firing squad execution since 2010.
The state has never used that method to execute a prisoner. The last time an inmate was killed by a firing squad was in 2010 in Utah.
No. 3 Florida basketball will try to sweep the two-game regular-season series with South Carolina when it hosts the Gamecocks on Saturday night.
If South Carolina is the No. 2 seed, it would start its SEC Tournament run at 6 p.m. against either the No. 15, No. 10 or No. 7 seeds. A win in that hypothetical quarterfinals game would set South Carolina up against the No. 3 seed in the semifinals at 7 p.m. Saturday.
