If Kermit Davis, Ben Howland and Tom Crean were on the 2019 NCAA Tournament selection committee, South Carolina would be locked in with an at-large bid.
Georgia’s Crean on Saturday, following words of Ole Miss’ Davis and Mississippi State’s Howland from previous weeks, joined the chorus of SEC coaches calling the Gamecocks worthy of the Big Dance.
“There should be absolutely zero question — not just because I’m in the league and not just because I like those guys — there should be zero question that that’s an NCAA Tournament team,” Crean said following USC’s 66-46 rout of the Bulldogs.
