South Carolina State loses MEAC final, automatic NCAA tournament bid on unnecessary foul in tie game
South Carolina State lost out on the MEAC’s automatic NCAA tournament bid in heartbreaking fashion on Saturday when Caleb McCarty committed a reach-in foul on Norfolk State’s Christian Ings with eight seconds remaining in regulation.
McCarty had just tied the game at 65-65 on a layup, catching a ricochet after Jayden Johnson tipped the ball for a steal.

Apparently forgetting or not realizing that it was a tied ballgame, McCarty then reached in to foul Ings as he advanced the ball up court, as if South Carolina State had to send Norfolk State to the foul line to stop the clock and hopefully get the ball back for a chance to tie or win.
However, since the score was tied, Ings got two free throws and made one of two for a 66-65 lead. Drayton Jones got the rebound on Ings’ miss, setting up Johnson for a last shot, but he missed at the buzzer. As a result, the Spartans won the MEAC’s automatic bid with the 66-65 win.
Ings led Norfolk St. with 17 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Brian Moore Jr. followed by 16 points and also grabbed seven boards with two steals. The Spartans finish 24-10 and 11-3 in the MEAC as they wait to see where and who they will play in the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2022.
For the Bulldogs, who led 34-25 at halftime, Wilson Dubinsky scored a game-high 24 points, knocking down all five of his 3-point attempts. Omar Croskey was the only other South Carolina State player in double figures, tallying 10 points.
South Carolina State finished with a 20-13 mark, 11-3 in the MEAC. Its 22-year NCAA tournament drought continues.

With 77 days until South Carolina football kicks off 2026 season, a look back at No. 77 George Schecterly
South Carolina football will take the field for the first time in 2026 on September 5 against Kent State. Williams-Brice Stadium will play host to the Gamecocks and Golden Flashes at 12:45 p.m., just 77 days from today.
The No. 77 is often worn by offensive linemen. One of two tough-nosed offensive tackles in a fun Gamecock era wore the number, as George Schechterly played for the Gamecocks from 1978 to 1980.
Questions about this story? Kevin Miller is discussing it with subscribers on The Insiders Forum.
Schechterly actually began his career at Penn State, playing for legendary coach Joe Paterno. However, as a redshirt, he didn’t meet the conditioning requirements to stay with the Nittany Lions. South Carolina gave him a second chance, and the offensive lineman dedicated himself to getting better. It paid off in a big way.
Despite being a little undersized, Schechterly earned a starting job at right tackle for the Gamecocks. He played opposite left tackle Chuck Slaughter, and the duo excelled at sealing off defensive ends with reach blocks.
That proved to be a big deal for South Carolina, as a running back named George Rogers made defenses pay on toss sweep plays. Of course, Rogers wound up winning the 1980 Heisman Trophy, and Schechterly and Slaughter provided a lot of assistance. The toss sweep play worked so well that the fanbase often joked that the best ideas in the team’s playbook were “George Sweep Right” and “George Sweep Left.”

That same 1980 season, Schechterly was an All-Independent selection at tackle and won the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the top overall blocker among Independent School blockers. He was USC’s only tackle ever to earn the honor, though several interior blockers did.
Following his graduation, Schechterly played briefly in the NFL, CFL, and USFL.
