South Carolina is Just as Good as All Final Four Teams....

spreadbeater · Mar 30, 2006

I honestly believe that South Carolina is just as good as all of the Final Four teams, if not better than some of them. Any thoughts???????

RobFunk · Mar 30, 2006

Ya, they look pretty good. Theres just so many good teams out there. The playing field gets more and more level each year. I still think the selection comittee did an OK job though.

Gotta like this kid with the dreadlocks.

Where was this effort all year that they have given in the past month????

This team is playing so well right now its unbelievable, and i would put Balkman on my team over most anyone...JJ Redick vs Balkman? LOL NO CHOICE, BALKMAN ALL THE WAY!!!

I was sitting here thinking the same thing...plus they beat Florida twice and almost a 3rd time!

They lost to Georgia twice who was in the basement in the SEC East. Win those two games and their 20-14 and probably in.

Journeyman · Mar 30, 2006

nice no call on obvious goaltending, 23,000 people saw it , except for the 3 zebras.

Yeah and they T-up Amaker...

BS...these referees are horrible

Irrelevant at this point USC is tougher than nails, love this team now and sorry this is their last game, they would give any of the final 4 teams one hell of a game!

Well not so if Michigan loses by 10, 11, or 12...considering the 2H line...yes So Carolina is going to win...but that call took 3 away from Michigan...terrible no call.

True, was talking about the game though...been over for a LONG time. USC clearly superior in all areas.

I would say, they are not exactly playing a powerhouse in Michigan. The big ten sucked this year in the tourney. But I would agree they have played very well the last month..........G.

Well as proven sometimes its not the Best team, its the Team that is HOT down the stretch that gets the CASH.

Boxslayer · Mar 30, 2006

ehh. They just have a good style of play. They try to slow the game down because they know they will get completely outscored if it comes to that. They rely on the 3-pointer quite a bit, they milk the shot clock, and they play good defense. It's a good formula. Just a better coaching job more than anything else for a team that is outtalented when it plays the better schools.

strongly disagree....they can only play with a big lead...they always beat florida(tough mathchup)...plus they're style works out well in a tourny like nit.ncaa/sec...they conserve energy/hold ball/ and frustrate u.....but they're playing teams in a lower class in nit

i agree sc is as good as any of the final 4 teams this year. Those last 2 games against louisville and michagan they were basically unbeatable.

Louisville & Michigan weren't exactly the cream of the crop this year.

The only stat you need to know: DAVE ODOM = 3-TIME NIT CHAMPION

Very Good Thread.......................

Yes.....Put The GameCocks Up Against all of The Final Four Teams!

--Best of 7--
vs G.MASON 4-2
vs UCLA 4-3
vs FLA 4-2(obviously)
vs LSU Probably Lose This One, as LSU is a Very Tough Match-Up!

It's Simple.....w/ R. Balkman #34 & Tre K #1 Back Next Year...

Watch Out For The GameCocks Next Season!!!
