Thanks to South Carolina’s improbable series win at No. 2 Texas A&M this past weekend, the Gamecocks might have kept Clemson’s slim hopes of making the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team alive. Ironically, the Tigers have an opportunity return the favor this week when it travels to seventh-ranked Florida State for a three-game series beginning this Thursday.
What am I taking about?
USC’s win at Texas A&M jumped the Gamecocks to No. 58 in Warren Nolan.com’ latest RPI rankings. USC will host top-ranked LSU later this week. If South Carolina were to win that series, then the Gamecocks could increase their RPI ranking into the top 50.
