The Gamecocks was behind for all but 70 seconds of the first half before going on a 9-2 run and going ahead 49-46 going into the break. USC then opened up on a 6-0 run to start the second half and extending its lead to as many as 14 points before Iowa started climbing back in the game. Yet, USC with clutch free throws and shots in the post was able to keep Iowa from coming back and got the win.
