\n

Collin Murray-Boyles collected 22 points and nine rebounds to help sluggish South Carolina rally to a 69-59 victory over Presbyterian on Monday in Columbia, S.C.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Nick Pringle contributed 14 points and five rebounds and Jamarii Thomas scored all 10 of his points in the second half as the Gamecocks (10-3) won their seventh straight.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

South Carolina trailed by 10 points in both halves before staging their comeback. An 11-0 run in the final eight minutes, fueled by the Gamecocks’ defense, was decisive.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Against a smaller Presbyterian team, which didn’t start a player taller than 6-foot-7, South Carolina ruled the glass by a 33-23 margin. The Gamecocks also had a 34-20 edge in points in the paint.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Kory Mincy tallied 27 points to lead Presbyterian (7-8) of the Big South Conference. Kobe Stewart added 13 points and six rebounds.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

A basket by Stewart with 7:33 left gave Presbyterian a 50-48 lead but South Carolina responded with an 11-point run, which included five points from Pringle.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

After taking their final lead, the Blue Hose failed to score a field goal over the next 4:55.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Morris Ugusuk drained a 3-pointer that sealed Presbyterian’s fate, giving South Carolina a 63-54 lead with 2:19 left.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Presbyterian gained the lead midway through the first half with a 13-3 run. Mincy made two baskets with crafty hesitation moves and Stewart added two buckets, including a 3-pointer that capped the spree and gave the Blue Hose a 25-16 lead.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

In the final two minutes of the half, Presbyterian’s Kaleb Scott and Murray-Boyles traded slam dunks, making it 32-24 at the break.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

South Carolina’s offense was so out of sorts in the period that Pringle was the only Gamecocks player who scored during a span of more than 11 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

After trailing by 10 points early in the second half, South Carolina went on a 9-1 run that was bookended by slam dunks from Murray-Boyles and Thomas as the Gamecocks reduced their deficit to 37-35.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

South Carolina improved to 34-8 in the series, which was halted after a game in 1947 and resumed in 2008 after Presbyterian gained provisional status to join Division I.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
