South Carolina hit six 3-pointers after trailing 43-41 early in the second half.

LSU led 54-52 before South Carolina took control, scoring 19 of 24 points for a 71-59 lead with 3:05 left. Baniulis had two 3-pointers during the run.
Odom announced in January he would retire at the end of his seventh season as South Carolina’s coach. He’ll get at least one more game with the Gamecocks advancing to play regular-season champion Tennessee in the quarterfinals Friday.

Baniulis had four 3-pointers overall, including three in the second half. Frederick and Downey each had 12 points, giving South Carolina five players in double figures.
