— Lamar Peters had 19 points, including five in overtime, to lead Mississippi State past South Carolina 72-68 on Saturday. Quinndary Weatherspoon hit two free throws with 6.8 seconds left in overtime to clinch the win for Mississippi State. “It was a phenomenal win and a gut-check win for us against a hard-nosed and well-coached team in South Carolina,” said Mississippi State head coach Ben Howland. We did a better job in the second half and the key juncture in the second half was when Eli Wright came into the game. South Carolina finished with 21 turnovers and outrebounded Mississippi State 40-30.
