The Bulldogs (14-14, 4-11), who had won two in a row, got a chance at the end, but Sahvir Wheeler was whistled for a charge with 1.4 seconds to play. Edwards, a potential No. 1 overall pick in this summer's NBA draft, went 11 of 22 from the field but missed two free throws with the game tied at 85-85 in the extra session.

Edwards had made all 10 of his foul shots before the two key misfires.

Seven straight points from Jermaine Couisnard (13 points) had South Carolina up 59-52 with roughly 12 minutes to play.
