Arkansas, it's clear they've saved their best for last. The South Carolina Gamecocks entered Saturday's matchup against the Arkansas Razorbacks with just one conference win. To say this season hasn't quite gone as they'd hoped in 2025 would be an understatement.

South Carolina (12-17, 2-14 SEC) dominated Arkansas 72-53 at Colonial Life Arena on Saturday afternoon to pick up its second league win. Arkansas (17-12, 6-10 SEC) finished shooting 28.8% from the field, including 3 of 22 from 3-point range. The Gamecocks led the entire game and by as many as 35.

All the momentum John Calipari’s team had built since its February 1 victory over Kentucky took a major hit in a 72-53 blowout loss at South Carolina. The defeat doesn’t erase Arkansas’ recent progress, but it serves as a stark reminder that this team can’t afford another misstep with an already short bench and key injuries hampering its depth.
