COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Chris Warren scored a career-high 33 points and tied the school record with eight 3-pointers, but Ole Miss' late comeback attempt was not enough in a 79-73 loss to South Carolina Tuesday night.
Sam Muldrow had 23 points, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:02 left, as South Carolina snapped a five-game losing streak.
Muldrow's points tied his career high and he added 10 rebounds to help the Gamecocks (14-12, 5-8 Southeastern Conference) build a 69-55 lead with 6 minutes left.
That's when the Rebels (17-11, 5-8) went on an 18-4 run, tying the game at 73 on Zach Graham's layup with 1:21 to go.
Muldrow answered back for South Carolina, striking for his third 3-pointer of the game.
Graham missed a tying 3-pointer on Ole Miss' next trip and the Gamecocks closed out their first home victory since Jan. 19 with three free throws.
Warren tied Keith Carter's school record of eight 3-pointers and set the record for treys in an SEC game.
The Rebels' senior point guard also eclipsed 500 points and 100 assists for the season, doing so for the third time in his career. Only three other players in school history have ever reached those totals once.
