COLUMBIA, S.C. — Josh Hubbard's two foul shots with 56.5 seconds left in overtime rescued No. 14 Mississippi State for a 65-60 victory over South Carolina after blowing a 14-point lead in the last nine minutes of regulation. The Bulldogs held a 50-36 lead with 8:50 to play, but the Gamecocks rallied to tie things up. Alabama transfer Nick Pringle looked like he had tied it again in overtime after Hubbard's foul shots with an inside basket. But it was waived off for basket interference. Riley Kugel had 15 points to lead Mississippi State.
