Congrats to the South Carolina fans. Awesome run you guys are on. enjoy every second of it. Was fun seeing Hootie (yea i know Darius is not really Hootie) crying tears of joy after the game. Thought Frank Martin would lose it too.

Great finish to the UK-UNC game. Not a fan of UNC and ol' Roy though. Hopefully Oregon can knock them off.

Actually I think Mark Bryan was there, too, so Hootie is kinda of accurate. CFM is an awesome person. So glad everyone else is getting to see that.

Always liked Frank Martin. His teams play the right way. Good luck, Cocks!

Thanks! I'm glad our school and basketball program are getting some national publicity. It's hard for us to keep in-state kids who want to play at Duke, NC, etc. We definitely got lucky with Sindarius.

I've seen it reported that this run is having an impact on Zion Williamson (currently the #2 player in the class of 2018 out of Spartanburg Day). They had the "we want Zion" going on with him in attendance at the Garden. Would be amazing if we landed him.

Students were chanting it last night at the CLA, too. He was supposedly at the Baylor game.

Carey Rich, who is pretty good in the know with Gamecock basketball, said not to worry and he will be ready in a radio interview.

from best case to worst:

SC
Zags (altho either SC or Zags would be OK)
NC
Oregon (fuck phil knight U)

I know who Carey is. Coaches/teams hide stuff all the time so we aren't always told the truth. I hope it is nothing. Unless he's on his death bed I don't think he'd miss the game.

anyone but North Carolina..sadly I think they are going to be the ones who win it. Kind of hard to believe they aren't on probation with all their sham classes.

As for me, I'm more excited than Jessie Spano on caffeine pills.

So cool there are other Gamecock fans on this board. Never thought we'd win our first game of the tourney much less go to the Elite 8!

Yeah, it's always cool to connect. I post on a Gamecock site and there's a huge Pearl Jam fan there. It's been fun trading concert stories with him.

I'm a little surprised @intodeep hasn't posted here. I know he's a fellow USC alum. Last I saw from him was before the Columbia show last year.

So Sorry. I've not been on the board in a long time. I can't believe the run the guys and girls are on. Obviously the guys is a bit more stunning.
After the first weekend of wins i said i would not trim my beard until they lose.... my boss is a bit unhappy now but i'm hoping he has just at least another day to deal with it!!

No worries man. I just remembered you posting when we won the back to back baseball championships.

Fear the beard!

That was a great game even if the refs tried to give it to UConn. Ready for an all SEC final tomorrow! Go Cocks!

saw the last 2 minutes and overtime. shocked at how little the woman's game has progressed. that team won 111 straight games? any decent hs boys basketball team could beat them.

Thirty Bills Unpaid

Come on Zags.

Sad to see the season end, but it was a heck of a ride. Win or lose, proud to be a Gamecock.
