South Carolina would probably like to have this decision back.
No. 11 seed Oregon steamrolled No. 6 seed South Carolina Thursday, 87-73 in one of the first upsets of the NCAA tournament. Leading the way for the Ducks was senior guard Jermaine Couisnard, a former Gamecock who transferred to Oregon in 2022.
Couisnard torched his former program with a game-high 40 points alongside six assists and four rebounds. He shot 14 of 22 from the field including a 5-of-9 effort from 3-point range.
Couisnard tallied 14 in the first half as Oregon opened a 34-29 lead, then combined with N'Faly Dante to score 18 of Oregon's first 20 points in the second half.
