Couisnard had a career-high 26 points, including his game-winner that banked in for the Gamecocks (9-7, 1-2 Southeastern Conference). When it went through the net, Couisnard and his teammates ran around the court in celebration as the fans erupted in cheers. Moments earlier, Immanuel Quickley hit a shot with 4.1 seconds to go that tied things at 78. Quickley led Kentucky (12-4, 3-1) with 20 points, including the Wildcats' final seven points in the closing minute after UK had fallen behind by six. Kentucky led by 14 less than five minutes into the second half and was still up 54-41 on EJ Montgomery's two foul shots with 11:41 left. That's when Justin Minaya started a 27-14 run over the next seven minutes that ended with Couisnard's basket off the glass to tie things at 68-all. After Ashton Hagans put Kentucky up again with two foul shots, Minaya answered with a 3-pointer that sent the crowd into pandemonium. Minaya added two more baskets between a drive by A.J. Lawson and South Carolina was ahead 76-71 with 1:46 to go. Kentucky tied it a final time on Quick- ley's jumper after Lawson missed two foul shots with a chance to seal the game. Of note ... • Despite a red-shot second half from South Carolina (20 of 36 field goals), Ken- tucky still held the Gamecocks to 39.7% shooting. UK fell 195-18 in the Calipari era and 8-2 this season when keeping the oppo- nent to less than 40% • UK shot 43.6% from the field and dropped to 11-1 this season when outshoot- ing the opponent • Kentucky led by as many as 14 points but lost for the first time this season when leading by double digits. UK is now 272-7 under Calipari when leading by at least 10 points at any time in the contest • The Wildcats gave up 20 offensive boards to South Carolina. Coupled with 15 turnovers, the Gamecocks took 18 more shots than UK • It's the second straight game Kentucky has given up 15 or more offensive rebounds and the third time in the last five games (vs. Louisville). Kentucky hadn't given up more than 14 offensive rebounds in any game pri- or to this recent five-game stretch • South Carolina's offensive boards led to 16 second-chance points for the Game- cocks • South Carolina also outscored UK 19-9 in points off turnovers • Nick Richards had 15 points and sev- en rebounds. It marked the first loss in 12 games UK has lost when he's scored in dou- ble digits • Hagans extended his streak of games with five or more assists to 13 games with seven assists • Tyrese Maxey had 13 points and has scored in double figures in six of the last seven games Bounce Back Kentucky doesn't lose very often during the John Calipari era, but when the Wildcats do, they almost always bounce back and its extremely rare for the Wildcats to drop more than one in a row. UK is 52-13 under Cali- pari following a loss (record does not count end-of-season losses). Kentucky's back-to-back losses to Utah and Ohio State marked just the 13th time the Cats have lost consecutive games during the Calipari era and the most recent since dropping four in a row from Feb. 3-14, 2018. That stretch was the first four-game losing streak under Calipari and the only time Kentucky has lost more than two games in a row under Calipari. Previously, the last time UK lost four games in a row was in February 2009, when the Wildcats dropped four straight games to end the regular season. It was the first time Calipari had lost four straight since the end of the 2004-05 season at Memphis. UK has never lost back-to-back home games under Calipari. Rebound ! Despite winning four in a row before a heartbreaking loss to South Carolina, a noticeable trend was brewing that finally nipped the Wildcats. Kentucky has given up 15 or more offensive rebounds in three of the last five games, leading opponents to average 9.8 more shots than UK. Over the last two games, UK has given up 16 (vs. Alabama) and 20 (at South Caro- lina) offensive rebounds, respectively. That’s resulted in 17 second-chance points for the Crimson Tide and 16 for the Gamecocks. Prior to the last two games, Kentucky had only given up 15 or more offensive rebounds once this season (vs. Louisville) and had not allowed more than 14 second-chance points in any other game.
