Part 3/6:
South Carolina's defense was particularly impressive. The Gamecocks stifled TCU's offensive rhythm, forcing turnovers and capitalizing on fast-break opportunities. This defensive pressure was evident as multiple players contributed to the team’s ability to take control of the game.
The Gamecocks' coordinated defensive efforts resulted in 30 forced turnovers against TCU, as they managed to score 42 points off these turnovers. This aspect of the game proved critical, effectively neutralizing any momentum the Horned Frogs attempted to build.
