Gamecocks lose to MSU

Terrible way to start the weekend with a loss to MSU in the SEC Tourney.....82-68 ....not sure what else can be said as the lackluster 2nd half performance sucked!

LOHD Question - Are the gameocks NIT bound or NCAA bound now??

I say NIT due to South Carolina losing three of four coming down the stretch. At 21-9 their resume lacks the 'wow factor' for the tournament committee. Wins at Kentucky and Baylor are just not that special nor is home wins against Kentucky and Florida. And it is said to say but being SEC Co-Champs in the East in the eyes of experts means nothing.

I am proud of the gamecocks for the 08-09 season as they surprised many and if you asked me back in December that USC would be co-champs even have a shot at the NCAA tourney....I would have answered no way but hats off to the team and coach Horn! Go Cocks!

The Bulldogs didn't shoot very many 3-pointers. But they made a bunch. They were 8-for-15 from outside the arc, 53.3 percent.

Meanwhile, USC hit just 5 of 22 (22.7 percent) from 3-point range.

Perimeter defense sucked for SC yet again!
