PITTSBURGH — After playing its way into the NCAA Tournament by winning the Pac-12 championship, No. 11 Oregon showed no lack of energy, frustrating South Carolina defensively in an upset of the sixth-seeded Gamecocks, 87-73, in their Midwest Region first round game Thursday afternoon.
Ducks center N’faly Dante backed up his Pac-12 title game performance with 23 points, his second-straight game with 20 or more and third in his last five. South Carolina , which posted a 15-win improvement in coach Lamont Paris’ second season to make its first NCAA appearance since a Final Four run in 2017, was led by Meechie Johnson’s 24 points.
