No. 21 LSU 64, South Carolina 61
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Glen Davis scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds as LSU clinched at least a share of the Southeastern Conference title. Davis, the SEC's leading scorer, was held to just six points in the opening half, but LSU (21-7, 13-2) pounded the ball inside in the second half to capture its first league title in six years. The Gamecocks (14-14, 5-10) lost another close one, which has been typical of their season. Tarence Kinsey led South Carolina, which has lost four straight, with 21 points. The Gamecocks had a chance late in the game trailing by two, but Kinsey was called for traveling. Tasmin Mitchell made a free throw with 26.3 seconds to go to put LSU ahead 62-59. South Carolina tried to find Kinsey for a 3-pointer on its next possession, but couldn't and Rocky Trice missed from beyond the arc. Brandon Wallace tipped in the rebound, but Davis made two free throws to seal the win.

BOSTON -- Craig Smith had 23 points and eight rebounds and Jared Dudley scored 22 to help Boston College clinch a bye for the first round of its first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. A victory over Virginia Tech in the regular season finale Saturday could help the Eagles (23-6, 10-5 ACC) avoid top-ranked Duke until the conference championship game. Trent Strickland scored 15 for Wake Forest (14-15, 2-13), which went 0-8 on the road in the conference. The Deamon Deacons clinched last place in the ACC with the loss.
