South Carolina head coach Chris Jans on the win:
“We knew this one [against South Carolina] we had to get. “We needed to get a road win. It was against a team that we felt like we matched up with pretty well and we wanted to carry that momentum into Saturday when we're going to play a really, really good and really talented and well-coached Missouri team that has all t he numbers. They've got all the [positive] metrics…In order for us to have that momentum and get a streak going we obviously had to take care of this road win and I'm happy for our guys.”
