KNOXVILLE – Josh Richardson strode toward the Tennessee bench one final time with his head buried in his orange and white jersey, the one he’s worn for 134 games.
The likable senior later would say he would remember some of the moments from his final game at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The result likely won’t be one of them.
South Carolina snapped a 15-game losing streak to the Volunteers – one that stretched back to February 2007 – and notched its first win in Knoxville since 2002 with a 60-49 victory late Saturday afternoon to spoil Richardson’s senior day.
It was Tennessee’s seventh home loss of the season in Southeastern Conference play, and four of those came to teams the Vols beat on the road.
