COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - Chris Denson and KT Harrell each scored 25 points to lead Auburn to a 79-74 win over South Carolina on Wednesday night.
Auburn (11-9, 3-6 SEC) led by 16 in the second half, but the Gamecocks (8-14, 1-8) went on an 18-2 run in five minutes to tie it at 62. Things got bleaker when Denson and Harrell each picked up their fourth foul within a minute of each other. But Auburn coach Tony Barbee didn't keep them out of the game for long.
Denson had a 3-point play and two more free throws and Harrell hit back-to-back jumpers to put the Tigers up 73-67 with 2:55 to go.
Brenton Williams led the Gamecocks with 29 points.
Auburn has won three SEC games in a row in the same season for the first time since 2009.

Throw a dart at any point on the map, and you'll probably find out there is someone from there who made the trip to Pasadena to cheer on either the Seminoles or Tigers.

It's hard to believe sports stories can get more dramatic than they did in 2013. From Manti Te'o's "girlfriend" to Auburn's double dose of miracles, the past year had everything.
