ALBANY, NY – Nobody thought Indiana would even be close. The consensus was that Indiana would have to play a perfect game to even compete with No. 1-seed South Carolina and even then the Hoosiers would be lucky to keep the game within 15 points.
The Hoosiers didn’t play a perfect game. But by the end of Friday night’s Sweet Sixteen matchup against the Gamecocks, the final score read 79-75 at MVP Arena. The Hoosiers lost by only one possession and they gave it their all until the final buzzer sounded.
“We’re fighters, and I think we showed that tonight,” Sydney Parrish said.
