Friars fall to South Carolina

The Providence Friars just lost to South Carolina, 67-66, in the Big East/SEC Invitational at the Wachovia Center.

PC trailed by as many as 12 points in the second half but cut it to two (61-59) with 2:59 to play. South Carolina stayed in it with some good work on the free throw line.

PC had a key steal in the final minute and a Brian McKenzie 3-pointer cut the lead to 67-64 with 33 ticks left. PC had a final chance to tie the game when Weyinmi Efejuku was fouled with 0.2 seconds left. But he missed the first of two free throws and the Friars (5-3) lost for the second straight game.
