The South Carolina Gamecocks basketball season hasn't quite gone as they might have hoped. However, after a commanding win vs. Arkansas, it's clear they've saved their best for last.

South Carolina (12-17, 2-14 SEC) dominated Arkansas 72-53 at Colonial Life Arena on Saturday afternoon to pick up its second league win. Arkansas (17-12, 6-10 SEC) finished shooting 28.8% from the field, including 3 of 22 from 3-point range. The Gamecocks led the entire game and by as many as 35.

All the momentum John Calipari’s team had built since its February 1 victory over Kentucky took a major hit in a 72-53 blowout loss at South Carolina. The defeat doesn’t erase Arkansas’ recent progress, but it serves as a stark reminder that this team can’t afford another misstep with an already short bench and key injuries hampering its depth.
