What to Know
Ole Miss has enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they’ll head out on the road. They and the South Carolina Gamecocks will face off in an SEC battle at 6:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Colonial Life Arena. Ole Miss is expected to lose this one by 4.5 points, so we’ll see if that gives them a bit of motivation.
Last Saturday, the Rebels came up short against the Tigers and fell 91-77. Ole Miss has struggled against the Tigers recently, as their match on Saturday was their sixth consecutive lost matchup.
The loss doesn’t tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Jaemyn Brakefield, who scored 15 points along with five assists and two blocks. The team also got some help courtesy of Matthew Murrell, who scored 18 points along with five rebounds.
Meanwhile, South Carolina waltzed into their matchup on Saturday with four straight wins but they left with five. They came out on top against the Bulldogs by a score of 72-62. Winning is a bit easier when you work as a team to rack up 15 more assists than your opponent, as South Carolina did.
South Carolina’s victory was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Collin Murray-Boyles, who scored 16 points along with five rebounds and two steals. Josh Gray was another key contributor, scoring 15 points along with eight rebounds.
The Rebels’ defeat ended a 13-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 18-4. As for the Gamecocks, they pushed their record up to 19-3 with that victory, which was their fourth straight on the road.
This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Ole Miss haven’t given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 10.2 turnovers per game. However, it’s not like South Carolina struggles in that department as they’ve been averaging only 10.5 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it’ll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
Ole Miss was able to grind out a solid win over the Gamecocks in their previous matchup back in March of 2023, winning 67-61. Will Ole Miss repeat their success, or do the Gamecocks have a better game plan this time around? We’ll find out soon enough.

Hricik launches no-money pledge campaign for SC attorney general
Richard Hricik, South Carolina’s Democratic nominee for attorney general, has officially launched his campaign for November’s general election.
Hricik was unopposed in the primary, automatically advancing to the ballot in November. He will now race against the Republican nominee David Stumbo, who beat Republican challenger Stephen Goldfinch in a runoff on June 23.
Hricik launched his campaign on June 25, just two days after the Republican primary runoff concluded.
In a press release Hricik, a Charleston attorney of more than 25 years, said that his campaign focuses on the fact that the rule of law should protect everyone equally.
“The Rule of Law isn’t red or blue. It has to apply to everyone, and be defended for everyone,” Hricik said. “An Attorney General who treats the law as their own political agenda — who protects some people and not others — threatens our democracy and makes every South Carolinian’s rights less safe. If someone attacks the State House in Columbia, I won’t ask who they voted for; it won’t matter — they are going to prison. That’s the law, and the Attorney General’s job is to defend and uphold The Rule of Law. For everyone.”
Hricik also announced that he has a no-money pledge for his campaign.
“An Attorney General is supposed to answer to two things: You and The Rule of Law. No one and nothing else,” Hricik said. “So, I take no money — not from special interests, not even from myself. That’s not a gimmick. It’s my firewall against corruption and influence. When you owe no one, you can fight for everyone and The Rule of Law.”
There has not been a Democrat in the attorney general office since Thomas Medlock, who left office in 1995.
Stumbo, who is currently serving a fourth term as Solicitor for the Eighth Judicial Circuit of South Carolina, ran his primary campaign on the basis of being a career prosecutor and lifelong Republican.
On runoff election night, Stumbo and his supporters gathered at the City Club of Greenville to watch results come in. In his winning speech that night, Stumbo said that while there hasn’t been a Democratic attorney general in South Carolina in many years, there would still be work ahead.
“We still got a lot of work to do, and I need everyone in this room fighting like crazy for the next few months to make sure that when we’re standing there on election night in November that we are officially the next attorney g eneral of South Carolina,” Stumbo said.

SC moves to revive death-penalty in double murder after federally commuted sentence
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WPDE) — A judge has started the process for South Carolina to pursue the death penalty against Brandon Council, the man accused of killing two women during an armed bank robbery at CresCom Bank in 2017.
Council is charged federally with murder after authorities said he walked into the bank to commit an armed robbery that ended with two employees being shot and killed.
He was originally sentenced to death in federal court, but the Biden administration commuted the sentences of 37 death row inmates, changing their status to life in prison.
With Council no longer facing execution under the federal sentence, South Carolina is moving to revive state charges that had been dropped before he was federally charged.

In court, prosecutors sought to add dates to the case calendar as they pursue the death penalty again.
Fifteenth Circuit Solicitor Jimmy Richardson said the state had initially been looking at April 2027 for a trial date, but the judge denied that as too soon.
“We were being as aggressive as we could be. But by July 17th, the defense will give their order. We will turn in another order, and we’ll see if we can’t come to an agreement. That way, the judge doesn’t have a lot of problems. It’s just an agreement between the two sides,” Richardson said.
During the hearing, the judge and the state were asked about any bias before moving forward.
Richardson said, “I don’t know him. So he’s from a different state, and, they ask us to let them know about any bias. I don’t know about any bias. I just, you know, it’s whatever the crime is.”
He added, “The main thing for me was to get the schedule in order so that we know where we’re going, and it looks like we’re on the road to that, but we’re not there yet.”

At one point, Council sought to represent himself in court and objected to statements made by the prosecution.
By the end of the hearing, he changed his mind and accepted representation.
Richardson said he does not expect the trial until 2028.
