USC MEN’S BASKETBALL Dozier, Notice lead No. 19 USC past LSU, 88-63

BY BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer

BATON ROUGE, La. — South Caro- lina coach Frank Martin was curious to see if the 19th-ranked Gamecocks could remain locked in and sustain their intensity against a struggling opponent in front of a meager crowd. He liked what he saw. PJ Dozier and Duane Notice each scored 17 points, and South Carolina dominated in a wire-to-wire win over LSU, 88-63 on Wednesday night. “I wasn’t real comfortable with the situation that we were walking into,” Martin said, adding that he thought it was significant that his team has al- ready matched its total of four SEC road wins last season. “League play is hard. And when you’re on the road and you can win, you celebrate. When you can win the way we did today, you’ve got to feel good about your team.” Chris Silva tied a career high with 16 points, and Sindarius Thornwell also scored 16 for the Gamecocks (18- 4, 8-1 Southeastern Conference), who are off to their best start in confer- ence play since the 1997 squad opened its SEC schedule 11-0. The victory also lifted South Carolina into a tie with eighth-ranked Kentucky atop the league standings. “Our coaching staff definitely harped on going into every game with the same mindset, no matter what team we’re playing,” Dozier said. “We know LSU has spectacular talent. They’ve strug- gled for a couple of games, but we know they’re due for a good game any day now. We just didn’t want them to have a great game against us.” Brandon Sampson scored 16 points THE ASSOCIATED PRESS and Skylar Mays 11 for LSU (9-12, South Carolina guard Duane Notice (10) puts the ball in the bucket for two points as LSU forward Wayde Sims (44) and LSU guard Branden 1-8), which trailed by 20 in the first Jenkins (10) watch in the first half of the Gamecocks’ 88-63 victory over the Tigers on Wednesday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. half en route to its eighth straight de- BIG PICTURE feat — seven by 13 points or more. minded, our offense gets flowing pret- don’t have any room to put our heads “On the defensive end, we did not South Carolina: The Gamecocks ty fast,” said Dozier, who made five of down right now,” Sampson said. “We make it tough enough for them in the opened the game with intensity, his first nine shots, including a 3 in just have to keep moving forward.” first half,” LSU coach Johnny Jones showing no signs of playing down to the opening 20 minutes. “That’s defi- said. “We were not aggressive the competition and doing exactly nitely what happened for me today.” POLL IMPLICATIONS enough, not playing at the level or what would be expected of them LSU: The Tigers continue to show lit- The comfortable victory certainly competing at the level that you need against a struggling team in a largely tle sign of being competitive.
