South Carolina tops Mississippi State 63-57
Notice added his only basket, a 3-pointer with 2:12 to go, that extended the lead for the Gamecocks (22-8, 12-5 SEC) who won the second-most Southeastern Conference games in their history and clinched one of the top four seeds for next week's league tournament.
Not that it was easy.
Mississippi State (14-15, 5-12), playing without injured leading scorer Quinndary Weatherspoon, erased a 10-point deficit midway through the half and took a 52-50 lead on Tyson Carter's 3-pointer with 4:29 to go. But Thornwell tied things up with two foul shots before Notice's go-ahead free throw. Mario Kegler had 12 points and Carter 11 to lead the Bulldogs.
Chris Silva had 15 points and 11 rebounds for South Carolina, his third double-double game this season.
