Wright is averaging 16 points on 72.2 percent shooting (13-of-18) and a team-best 4.5 assists.Wright also knocked down four 3-pointers against South Carolina State.”Jacobi Wright, just in his DNA as a basketball player, is the kind of guy who’s going to do those things more often,” South Carolina coach Lamont Paris said of Wright.The Gamecocks never trailed, boasted a 51-36 rebounding edge and held South Carolina State to 3-of-16 shooting from 3-point range.But Paris wasn’t pleased with his own team’s long-range shooting. South Carolina was 8-of-27 — Wright was 4-of-7 and the rest of the team was 4-of-20.”I can’t make them make it,” Paris said. “All I can do is provide the environment that they feel comfortable taking those shots.”Towson (1-1) split its first two games, losing at Saint Mary’s in its opener before shellacking USCAA member Penn State Wilkes-Barre 89-34 on Friday.
