In a single elimination tournament there will always be some luck, but South Carolina beat two teams in the tournament by 20 and won even their closest games by 3 possessions. This South Carolina team is considerably better than the team we have this year. We couldn't play two consecutive games at the level that they've played four.
this south carolina team is playing much better now than they did in the regular season when they lost 10 games. not that it matters but the two teams were very comparable during the regular season.
what you have in south carolina is a team that plays great team defense, has a good team make up, has an unstoppable stud named sindarius thornwell, and has had the ball bounce their way in the tournament
that said, i'm really not sure why anyone is comparing a final four team to k-state because it's a dumb comparison to make
