Markeshia Grant added 11 points, including three 3-pointers, and Ieasia Walker chipped in 10 points for the Gamecocks (20-7, 9-5 Southeastern Conference).
South Carolina got back on the winning track after dropping a 61-59 contest to No. 18 Georgia on Thursday. The Gamecocks now have No. 7 Kentucky on the horizon on Wednesday night.
