South Carolina’s season ends in heartbreak after a 86-74 loss to Oklahoma in the SEC Tournament’s first round — a game that saw the Gamecocks lead by nine at one point but couldn’t hold off the Sooners’ second-half surge fueled by relentless shooting. The defeat marks the final game for six seniors, including stars Meechie Johnson and Mike Sharavjamts, as head coach Lamont Paris returns next year with a revamped roster. With a 13-19 overall record and a 4-14 conference mark, the Gamecocks now turn their focus to rebuilding — a bittersweet chapter closing as the program looks ahead to its next chapter.
