What an unbelievable 2nd half. It will be a long drive home for the Duke Blue Devils....The Gamecocks are headed to the Sweet 16!!!

UCLA ran Cincinnati out of the building, and Duke got what they always deserve....an embarrassing loss!

And I've pulled for them before. But not tonight!  Never against the USC Gamecocks!

They pulled away from Cincinnati...The ACC, the much overrated conference...PAC12, 8-1.

END OF MESSAGE

Please let me admit that I grossly underestimated the strength of the SEC entrants into the tournament in general, and specifically the University of South Carolina.  They had a strong early season, and I believed they would be a legitimate threat to knock off Kentucky for the SEC crown.  But once league play began, they played at a very mediocre level, and to describe the team's offense as "offensive" would be an understatement.

And then March Madness began, and the Gamecocks became juggernauts.

I believe they have a legitimate chance to reach the Final Game...they have impressed me that much.
