Gamecocks hold off LSU 77-73

South Carolina broke open a tight game with a 19-5 run and Dave Odom’s retirement plans were put on hold as the Gamecocks beat LSU 77-73 in the opening game of the Southeastern Conference tournament today.

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

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.
