FAYETTEVILLE – Mason Jones had 34 points and a career-high 12 rebounds, but Arkansas came up on the short end of a 79-77 decision to South Carolina Wednesday night at Bud Walton Arena.

The Gamecocks (12-8, 4-3 SEC) raced out a to an 8-0 lead to start the game and never trailed the rest of the way. The Razorbacks (15-5, 3-4 SEC) did tie the game at 40-40 early in the second half, but South Carolina answered every run the Hogs made.

Despite it all, Arkansas had the ball with 26 seconds left and a chance to tie or take the lead. However, the shot at the buzzer hit off the front rim.

Both teams missed 16 free throws with South Carolina making 17-of-13 and Arkansas 26-of-40. Both teams had 36 rebounds. The difference in the game was the Gamecocks’ ability to score in transition as USC had 17 fastbreak points compared to Arkansas’ five.

In addition to Jones’ 34 points, Isaiah Joe made five 3-pointers and scored 16 points coming off the bench.

 A.J. Lawson led the Gamecocks with 19 points while Jair Bolden and Maik Kotsar added 12 and 10, respectively.

For Jones:

- the 34 points are the second-most of his career.

- the 12 rebounds are a career high.

- the double-double is the second of his career.

- the 15 free throws made are the most by a Razorback since Corliss Williamson sank 17 (of 22) versus Ole Miss on Feb. 18, 1995.

- he is the first Razorback since Bobby Portis to have a 30-10 double-double (Vanderbilt Jan. 19, 2015).

- he is the first Razorback to have at least 34 points and 12 rebounds since Mario Credit (34 and 13) versus Loyola Marymount on Mar. 16, 1989.
