Not a bad matchup!
ESPN's Joe Lunardi has been kicking the Bracketology machine in high gear now that we're in the closing stages of February and about to hit Championship Week. His latest projections came out today, and they're pretty good for Gamecocks fans: the team is a seven seed (unchanged from Monday's projections) and pitted against the Atlantic 10's VCU in the Midwest region. The Gamecocks are paired with second-seeded at-large pick Miami (Fla.) and 15th-seeded Weber State, predicted to garner the Big Sky's sole bid by virtue of winning the conference tournament.
A game against VCU stands to be very favorable for the Gamecocks.
