USC Aiken Out-Physicals Rivals in Intense 75-71 Victory
15 Jan
Summary
- USC Aiken secured a 75-71 win with strong free-throw shooting.
- Augusta's freshman guard Rodney Scott suffered a season-ending wrist injury.
- The Pacers extended their winning streak against Augusta to three games.

USC Aiken emerged victorious over Augusta University with a hard-fought 75-71 win on Wednesday night. The Pacers' relentless physicality and stellar free-throw performance, hitting an impressive 33-of-35 attempts, were key factors in their triumph. This victory marks the third consecutive win for USC Aiken against their longtime rivals, dating back to February 2024.
Augusta struggled offensively, particularly from beyond the arc, shooting just 24% from three-point range. Their efforts were further hampered by the loss of freshman guard Rodney Scott, who suffered a season-ending broken wrist late in the second half after an awkward fall. Scott had been a promising floor general for the Jaguars.
With key guards Rodney Scott and TJ Baker sidelined, Augusta coach Dip Metress will rely on freshmen Camryn Pacheco and Kyndon Wilburg to handle ball-handling duties. The Jaguars aim to regroup as they prepare to face North Georgia on the road on Wednesday, January 21.
