Gamecocks upset Baylor • SOUTH CAROLINA 85, NO. 19 BAYLOR 84: Devan Downey entered Friday's game against Baylor as South Carolina's leading scorer. After he shot 1-for-7 from the field and scored only four points in the first half, his coach wasn't worried. "I thought he was terrific in the first half," South Carolina first-year coach Darrin Horn said. "He ran our team, he got other guys shots, he defended. He did all the little things. In the second half, he did the same things." Downey finished with 23 points in leading the Gamecocks (10-2) past the host Bears (12-2). Zam Fredrick scored 19, including the go-ahead basket with 5.1 seconds left.
