COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -
Devan Downey scored 25 points, including
four free throws in the final 12 seconds of overtime to help South
Carolina to an 82-78 win over Arkansas on Saturday night.
Downey's pair of free throws with 12 seconds left gave the
Gamecocks (19-6, 8-4 Southeastern Conference) a 78-74 lead - the
first time either team had been up by more than 3 in the extra
period.
After Jason Henry hit a 3-pointer for the Razorbacks (13-12,
1-11), Zam Fredrick made two free throws with 5.3 seconds left to
stretch the Gamecocks' lead to three. Downey then fouled Henry with
2.1 seconds left before he could try his own tying 3, and Henry
committed a lane violation as he tried to intentionally miss his
second free throw.
Henry had a career-high 27 off the bench to lead Arkansas.
South Carolina remains in a three-way tie for first in the SEC
East.
