Here are key takeaways: Federico was shot early on a Saturday in a Cypress Street rental while Alexander Dickey, 30, broke into two adjacent homes where University of South Carolina fraternity brothers were living , stealing a vehicle, a gun and credit cards, according to a May 2025 news conference with Columbia Police Chief Skip Holbrook.

No. 1 Gamecocks thump No. 12 UNC in WBB border battle. What we learned

South Carolina has secured the bragging rights to be called “Carolina” — in women’s basketball, at least. Dawn Staley and the No. 1 Gamecocks beat No. 12 North Carolina 84-39 at the Ally Tipoff in Charlotte on Sunday. It’s the first win on this side of the Atlantic Ocean after USC started the season with a close win over Maryland in Paris, France. South Carolina is now 2-0 to start the season, with both wins coming over Top 25 opponents. While it wasn’t perfect Sunday, the Gamecocks put together a strong showing on both sides of the ball to secure the win. South Carolina had four players finish in double-figures and forced a high-powered UNC offense to struggle all night. Here are a few takeaways from South Carolina’s win: Third-quarter run makes the difference South Carolina all but iced the game with a dominant third-quarter performance. The Gamecocks outscored the Tar Heels 32-9 in the third period to take a 66-26 lead into the fourth quarter. South Carolina shot 36.4% in the first half but improved that mark to a 70.6% clip in the third period. North Carolina struggled to find momentum on offense and only made three field goals
