Chandler Parsons is starting to make big shots a habit.
Three weeks after his 75-foot buzzer beater against NC State, Parsons hit a three from the left wing as time expired to lead the Gators over South Carolina 58-56.
Devan Downey was a one-man show for the Gamecocks, scoring 36 points while going to coast-to-coast to put SC up 56-55 with 5.1 seconds to play.
Without a timeout, Erving Walker quickly drove the ball up court and hit Parsons with a perfect pass. Despite missing his first three attempts from behind the arc, Parsons calmly stroked the winner.
The Gators were impressive statistically, shooting 41.5% from the field, while South Carolina struggled to the tune of 38%. Downey was able to keep it close on the road, while the rest of the Gamecocks were having a hard time doing anything offensively.
Kenny Boynton added 14 for the Gators and Walker had 13 points and seven assists.
The Gators improve to 14-5 overall and 3-2 in the SEC. South Carolina fell to 11-8 and 2-3 in the SEC.
