What was that!!!!?????

 

[Cowtown]

TV Teddy too busy doing his turkey strut to see that SC travel.

 

[bevosu]

SC is gonna miss free throws their way out of this win. Make the FT's.

It's over. Nice win SC.

Is Ted Valentine actually doing this game after doing the MW region final in KC last night?

If so the NCAA are morons for making the guy fly from KC to NYC for a game. When they are plenty of other good refs.

 

[Cowtown]

Looks like Chiozza's been "reading his press clippings" a little too much.

 

[Col. Bleep]

Have to give head coach Sgt. Carter credit. SC's defense is terrific.

 

[cmr27]

Defense wins championships. That was shutdown D in the second half. Didn't give them an inch.

 

[MikeSU02]

I'm glad Verne got to broadcast this game. He's fantastic.

Congrats to Frank Martin and USC, what a trek. They didn't sneak in, they beat legit teams.

Who had Gonzaga, Oregon, S carolina in the ff?

 

[longislandcuse]

Was that Darius Rucker in tears?

What a great scene

 

[MiniCuse]

Nice finish for the Gamecocks. Despite missed free throws, their defense in the last minute or so sealed it.

I thought only the Dolphins made him cry?

 

[jdubs30]

SC is going to give Gonzaga serious trouble.

SC has the size down low to deal with Zaga's bigs. THey have a star in Thornwell. Their type of high pressure defense is what Gonzaga has struggled against all tournament

 

[jgeorge322]

Great W for sc but theyre acting like they won the NC

 

[HOFCeluck]

Weirdest final four ever

 

[MSOrange]

I'm happy for Frank Martin. He's so passionate. When he coached at K State, his halftime and postgame interviews with K State announcer Stan Weber were must see tv.

 

[PoppyHart]

Would Frank Martin be interested in taking over for JB?

 

[Madbiker]

We recruited Silva. He played on same HS team with Roberson. Well, we knew SC was good. They were great early, slumped in Feb like we often do, then were great again in the tourney. I actually like Frank Martin...he's so different in interviews from what you expect him to be like. Very articulate guy and likable. Good for them. It was an exciting game to watch.

I'd go to war for him any day.

Get this hes my best friend from Syracuse, moved down to Charleston along time ago, next-door neighbor. The rest the neighborhood down there is having a big party. Good for them and good for hootie Apparently a great dude

 

[Deano]

Been rooting for these guys ever since they knocked off Dook.

Awesome! Charleston is an incredible city.

What a year for the state of SC... Clemson wins the National Championship in CFB and South Carolina to the Final 4 (and I give them a great shot against Gonzaga)

 

[hoopsupstate]

After watching them beat SU back in November, you could easily say they might have been the best team SU played this year. They are really good and Thornwall is one of the best players in the country. What's even more remarkable is he's a senior. It's great to see a senior play like an All American. You don't see many of them anymore. The game with Gonzaga is going to be physical and a war inside. Should be a great game.

So does our rpi go up?

So does our rpi go up?

Yeah, we are off the bubble finally.
