Texas Longhorns basketball team humiliated in 84-69 loss to South Carolina
The South Carolina Gamecocks snapped a 13-game losing streak Saturday with a dominating win over a punchless Texas Longhorns squad, 84-69. South Carolina was led by Collin Murray-Boyles, who recorded a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out.
With the Texas Longhorns fighting for a spot in the NCAA Tournament, this loss might be damaging to UT’s resume. It was the first SEC win of the season for the Gamecocks (11-16, 1-13), who lost their first 13 Southeastern Conference games.
South Carolina built a double-digit lead early and extended it to as many as 22 points in the second half. The aggressive Gamecocks defense derailed Texas (16-11, 5-9) all night. UT didn’t have to deal with a hostile environment either. The game was sparsely-attended against a team that was 0-13 in conference.
The heat will only get hotter for embattled Texas Longhorns coach Rodney Terry, whose team failed to execute any kind of game plan or follow a scouting report on a team that was having one of the worst seasons in South Carolina program history.
Texas travels to Arkansas on Wednesday before finishing the regular season out with Georgia at home, on the road at Mississippi State and OU back at Moody.

Two from South Carolina charged with murder after Massachusetts man found dead in trash can
Two men have been charged after a Massachusetts man was found dead in disturbing fashion.
According to the City of Marion South Carolina Police Department, 31-year-old Shaiquan Ramaal Foxworth of Marion was arrested this week and charged in the murder of David Hutchinson which took place in January.
Hutchinson’s body was discovered inside a trash can that had been placed behind an abandoned residence on Pearl Street.
Foxworth has been charged with Murder (No bond set at this time), Desecration or Removal of Human Remains ($10,000 bond), Conspiracy ($5,000 bond), Possession of a Weapon During the Commission of a Violent Crime ($5,000 bond), and Discharging a Firearm within City Limits ($1,087.50 bond). His total bond has been set at $21,087.50. Bond on the Murder charge will be determined at a later date by a Circuit Court Judge.
Additionally, 31-year-old Travis Jermaine Godbolt, who is currently being held at the Marion County Detention Center on unrelated charges, has also been charged in connection with Hutchinson’s death. His charges include Murder (No bond set at this time), Desecration or Removal of Human Remains ($10,000 bond), and Conspiracy ($5,000 bond). Godbolt’s bond has been set at $15,000. As with Foxworth, bond on the Murder charge will be determined by a Circuit Court Judge at a later date.
Thomas Lee Brigman, Jr. was arrested and charged with Accessory After the Fact of Murder. His bond was set at $15,000 surety.
While no details were revealed by authorities, a GoFundMe fundraiser created by family states that Hutchinson “was lured to South Carolina with the promise of making money by a woman who claimed to be an entrepreneur, but upon arrival, he quickly figured out it was all a set up. After being taken for his money, he was dropped off at a trap house where his phone was also stolen. In the time leading up to his disappearance there was an altercation with his barbering equipment being stolen as well. When Dave confronted the individual(s) he thought took his belongings, he was met with violence and a gun was pulled. Later that same day he vanished without a trace.”
The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Marion Police Department at 843-423-8616 or submit information through the department’s mobile app. Tips may be provided anonymously.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – Former South Carolina Lt. Gov. André Bauer has been nominated for a position in foreign diplomacy.
