South Carolina vs NC State basketball: Who won, score?

| TRAVEL IN SOUTH CAROLINA

For the first time in more than a calendar year, the South Carolina women’s basketball team has tasted defeat. The No. 1 Gamecocks fell 54-46 to No. 8 N.C. State on Thursday at Colonial Life Arena, snapping the program’s record 29-game winning streak.

No one would mistake the matchup for beautiful basketball: The top-10 showdown was an ugly, gritty affair with neither team shooting above 30% from the field and both consistently clashing in crowded lanes, with little outside shooting to speak of.

In the end, USC couldn’t overcome 4-of-11 free-throw shooting and 54 missed shots from the field. One of the team’s leading scorers entering the game, junior point guard Destanni Henderson, scored just two points. Coach Dawn Staley’s other star players, sophomore guard Zia Cooke and sophomore forward Aliyah Boston, combined for 20 points but needed 32 shots to get there.

From the get-go, both teams struggled to

Football Preview: South Carolina at Kentucky

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WSPA) – South Carolina looks to snap a five-game losing streak as they travel to take on Kentucky in the regular season finale. 

South Carolina

Freshman quarterback Luke Doty got his first collegiate start last week in the Gamecocks’ 45-16 loss to Georgia. 

He was impressively efficient given the matchup, completing 18 of 22 passes for 190 yards and one score to one interception. But the Bulldogs controlled most of the game, racking up 332 rushing yards and 471 total yards of offense. Sophomore running back Kevin Harris added 53 yards on the ground to bring his season total to 928 yards. The one thousand-yard mark is firmly within reach as Harris needs just 72 yards against the Wildcats to reach the feat. You have to go back to 2013 to find a Gamecock with that kind of performance as Mike Davis was the most recent to do

South Carolina, Kentucky meet looking to end losing streaks

No Comments
| TRAVEL IN SOUTH CAROLINA

South Carolina and Kentucky each aim to end disappointing regular seasons with a rare victory.

The winner might even have a chance to continue playing football in December.

While the possibility of postseason play initially appears farfetched given both teams’ losing records, the Southeastern Conference’s bowl alliances means slots still have to be filled even in this unusual season. The first step toward that scenario comes Saturday night in Lexington, Kentucky, as the visiting Gamecocks (2-7, 2-7 Southeastern Conference) and Wildcats (3-6, 3-6) both will try to end losing streaks.

“It’s a big chance to get rid of that nasty feeling off of losing these couple of games,” said Kentucky senior receiver Josh Ali, referring to consecutive losses to top-ranked Alabama and No. 6 Florida.

“We may not have a bowl game. This may be our last one, so mentally you should want to go out there and play your

Sometimes, you don’t know what you’ve got until you’re forced to look at it. And Australian travellers haven’t always looked at NSW. We’ve tended to head overseas. We’ve focused on Europe, on Asia, on the Americas.

But now we’re stuck in Australia, and we have to turn our focus inwards. And what do we find? 

We find the Blue Mountains, these ruggedly beautiful ranges right on Sydney’s doorstep. We find the Southern Highlands, all high-quality experiences amid old-world charm. We find Jervis Bay with its white-sand beaches, Pacific Palms with its flawlessly clear ocean, Lightning Ridge with its cast of characters, the Byron hinterland with its lush green beauty, and so much more.

In short, in NSW we find one of world’s premier tourist destinations. And it’s ours for the taking.

ANALYSIS: Major Changes In Japanese, South Korean Airline Strategies

No Comments
| FLIGHT DEALS

The Japanese and South Korean airline sectors are likely to see long-term repercussions for the competitive dynamics in both the low-cost and full-service markets as a result of the pandemic.

Japan and Korea have domestic routes that rank among the world’s busiest, both pre- and post-pandemic. They did not shut down their domestic networks to the same extent as many other countries. But while domestic traffic is helpful, airlines really need international services to return to their pre-COVID-19 traffic and financial levels.

The two countries have major airports near Seoul and Tokyo that their respective airlines and airline partners use as hubs to connect Asia to North America, Europe and other regions. The lack of international traffic is hurting that strategy, with overseas flights being restored only very gradually.

Like other governments in Asia, Japan and Korea will want to push for travel bubble agreements with countries in the region
