South Carolina guard Sindarius Thornwell (0), who finished with 26 points, tries to drive against Florida forward Devin Robinson during the first half Sunday. South Carolina will face Gonzaga, the No. “Plays needed to be made down the stretch and I stepped up and made plays.”“Thornwell was just being Thornwell,” Florida Coach Mike White said of the SEC player of the year. Florida missed all 14 of its shots from beyond the arc in the second half, a lot like the 0-for-17 effort the Gators had in their first meeting with South Carolina this season. South Carolina, which forced Florida into 16 turnovers, finished 23 for 31 from the free-throw line, including a nine-for-10 effort from Thornwell.
