Tech went into the half shooting.407 from the field, while defensively holding SC to.360 shooting from the field, according to Tech Athletics. Will be updated. With AP Photos.

After weeks of conference play, the Texas Tech men's basketball team stepped outside their conference as they faced SC in the Big 12/SEC challenge, with Tech getting the road win over the Gamecocks by a score of 70-63.

Keenan Evans took over the game when the No. 14 Red Raiders needed him the most.

In the first half the Red Raiders were able to establish a lead, as they led at half by a score of 30-26. Evans led the Red Raiders back from a five-point deficit.

After trailing by four at halftime, the Gamecocks would storm out to a big lead thanks, in part to Chris Silva.

Now the focal point of the Gamecock offense, he's playing at an All-SEC level through eight league games, he finished with 16 points to lead the team and five rebounds.

Evans followed that with a 3-point play with 46 seconds left to secure the win in the teams' first meeting since December 1976.

So as Beard coached the Red Raiders in a 70-63 win at Colonial Life, he saw another team he thinks should be playing basketball in mid-March. Zhaire Smith had 11 points, the only other Texas Tech player in double figures.

This time, though, South Carolina's rally came up short, as it missed six of its final seven field-goal tries. The losses came when USC (13-8) wilted in the game's biggest moments.

South Carolina: The Gamecocks have had a knack for coming out on top in ugly games. But aggressive play cost SC in this one. Frank Booker was called for an intentional foul with the Gamecocks holding a lead, and two starters, forward Silva and point guard Wesley Myers, fouled out.

Texas Tech goes home to play Texas on Wednesday night.

SC (13-8, 4-4 SEC) had the No. 14 team on the ropes through most of the second half, leading by as much as five with roughly six minutes to play.
