When Ole Miss and South Carolina tip off tonight in Nashville, the key talking points regurgitated again and again will be that the Rebels are playing to work their way into the NCAA Tournament, and the Gamecocks are hoping to play the role of SPOILER, BOB.
While those statements are true, though I don’t know how much a win over Ole Miss moves the needle for South Carolina after a miserable 6-14 regular season, the announcers are not likely to wade deeply into how Ole Miss might advance or how South Carolina could cause a late night Ole Miss Twitter meltdown.
