Postgame audio - Coach Sydney Johnson:
Four players scored in double figures for South Carolina as the Gamecocks handed Princeton a defeat by the largest margin of victory for a visiting team in the 40 year history of Jadwin Gym.
Devan Downey had 22 points, seven steals and six assists to pace USC. Zam Fredrick added 20 in the 84-58 win.
Princeton had clawed their way through intense early pressure to take a 24-23 lead with 5:58 left in the first half on a Zach Finley layup created by a penetrating Jason Briggs.
The Tiger advantage lasted all of 16 seconds as Evaldas Baniulis' scooping drive under the extended arm of Kareem Maddox would begin a 15-0 run that concluded the half.
“We got some shots that didn’t go down [during the South Carolina run],” said Princeton head coach Sydney Johnson. “We went through a woeful stretch there. They’re playing faster and their pace overwhelmed us. If we were able to continue to make some baskets, it might have been a different picture.”
