YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – Faison Brock poured in a career-high 43 points as the University of South Carolina Aiken men's basketball team earned a 104-91 win at Young Harris Saturday afternoon.

The Pacers are now 12-6 on the year and 8-0 in league play.

The 43 points are the fifth most ever scored by an individual in the PBC. The 43 points also marked the third highest point total against another league team.

Leading 17-16, Damontez Oliver and Barmore connected on back-to-back shots. Moments, later, Brock took a pass from Oliver for a bucket. Barmore's three-ball capped a 9-0 spurt.

The Pacers continued holding the Mountain Lions at bay in the first half and maintained a 44-40 advantage at the break. Highlighting the close of the first half was Barmore's pass off the backboard to Shaquan Jules for a one-handed jam.

YHC trimmed the margin to three at 48-45, but Brock's two free throws gave the visitors some breathing room. Deing's three-ball off a pass from Oliver pushed the lead to 10 at 61-51 with 16:01 to go.

Up by 10 at 69-59, Donaven Hairston found Brock for a lay-up. After a Barmore rebound, he found Brock for a jumper and a 14-point advantage. The Mountain Lions closed the gap to six at 84-78, but Vanderslice's team would embark on a 9-2 spurt for a 93-80 lead with 3:43 to play in the game.

The Mountain Lions cut it to eight points, but could get no closer the rest of the way.
