COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Michigan coach John Beilein turned to his staff on the bench with a puzzled look.Have we scored a basket this half? he asked.No, Coach, not against South Carolinas solid defense.Sindarius Thornwell had 21 points and 10 rebounds and the Gamecocks held No. 25 Michigan to its lowest shooting performance in six years in a 61-46 victory Wednesday night.The Gamecocks improved to 5-0 for a second straight season and knocked off their first ranked opponent since an 81-78 win at No. 8 Texas A&M last February. South Carolina got a big assist in this one from Michigans awful outside touch -- it finished 10 of 52 (19.6 percent) for its worst shooting percentage in six years.It was one of those nights where we couldnt buy a basket, Michigan guard Derrick Walton Jr. said.The Wolverines scored more points from the free throw line, 24, than the field. They hit just two of 26 attempts from behind the arc.It was the first time the Wolverines (4-1) hadnt reached 50 points since scoring 42 in a loss to Eastern Michigan on Dec. 9, 2014.Beilein thought South Carolinas size and its defensive style threw off his teams shooting.I dont think we were wide open on most misses, he said.South Carolina took control with a 22-12 run to start the second half and the Gamecocks were never tested as Michigan kept missing.Zak Irvin, Michigans leading scorer, was just 2 of 13 from the field for five points. He fouled out with 5:33 to go. Walton led the Wolverines with 15 points on 3-of-14 shooting.Duane Notice added 13 points for the Gamecocks.Thornwell wasnt worried about what a win over Michigan might mean for the Gamecocks, who started 15-0 last season, won 24 games in the regular season yet were left out of the NCAA Tournament last March.We dont play a game, we play a season, Thornwell said. We have a long way to go.THE BIG PICTUREMichigan: The Wolverines are in the bottom half of Big Ten shooting teams early on and it was easy to see why against South Carolina. Michigan was just 6 of 24 from the field in the opening half, including an ice cold 1 of 12 from behind the arc. If it werent for its talent for drawing fouls (Michigan made 14 first-half free throws), the Wolverines would have been in a deep, deep hole. Michigan will have to find a more consistent touch if it hopes to make a mark in conference play.South Carolina: The Gamecocks young players -- there were four freshmen and a sophomore who saw first-half action -- were aggressive on defense, maybe a bit too aggressive in the first half. South Carolina was whistled for 11 fouls, putting Michigans accurate free throw shooters on the line. At one point, Gamecocks coach Frank Martin screamed, Why? at PJ Dozier after his silly foul following his missed shot.POLL IMPLICATIONSMichigans stay in the poll will end come Monday. This is the sort of victory that typically gets a team like South Carolina notice from the voters. But if the Gamecocks dont follow it up with a win against Syracuse on Saturday, theyll also probably have to wait to make the poll.CELL PHONE ISSUESMartin, known for his in-game death glares at players and officials, was beginning his postgame remarks when a cellphone rang. He shot a quick stare in that direction, then smiled. Its OK, Im in a good mood, he said.UP NEXTMichigan starts a four-game home stand with Mount St. Marys on Saturday night.South Carolina takes on its second-straight ranked opponent when it plays No. 18 Syracuse on Saturday in Brooklyn, New York.---More AP college basketball at http://collegebasketball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-Top25 Nike Air Max 90 Cheap Wholesale .

The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. He came up with a crucial blunder and once again failed to make a dent when it counted however Gold Coast have leapt to the defence of superstar signing Jarryd Hayne.Talked up pre-game as a possible difference-maker, fullback Hayne once again had an off night as the Titans were dumped from the NRL finals in their 44-28 loss to Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night.After his side took an 18-16 lead into halftime, Hayne spilled the ball from the kickoff with Alex Glenn crossing a minute later.It ultimately proved a turning point and from there the Broncos opened up the floodgates, running away with the game.However coach Neil Henry defended his charge, saying it was always going to take time to find his feet back in the game after 18 months out in the NFL and Rugby Sevens.I think weve had half a dozen sessions maximum where weve had both our halves and our fullback together, Henry said.Hell be a lot better with a pre-season and an understanding as well. Well build on that.Haynee rarely delivered on his million-dollar price tag in his six games back since returning to Australia.ddddddddddddWhile he kicked the winning field goal in the Titans memorable 19-18 victory over Wests Tigers in his second game back, he was relatively quiet in his other outings.He came up with three try assists - including kicking for Josh Hoffman on the stroke of halftime against the Broncos on Friday night - one linebreak and no tries.While adamant that Hayne will be in far better shape with a pre-season under his belt, Henry conceded his No.1s clanger from the kick off changed the momentum of the game.The possession flow was heavily against us at times, Henry said.We had to hang in and defend and I thought our goal-line defence was really good at times.But it got opened up early on the back of an error off the kickoff at the start of the second half.
