Back to the South Carolina Gamecocks Newsfeed

South Carolina would ‘love’ an NIT opportunity. But will the Gamecocks get an invite?

That team that battled all kinds of adversity to finish fourth in the SEC shouldn’t be out of games to play after the conference tournament.

At least that’s how Frank Martin views his South Carolina Gamecocks after they lost to Auburn in the SEC quarterfinals on Friday.

“I enjoy being at practice with these guys,” Martin said. “I enjoy competing with them. Coaching them has been a whole lot of fun.”

Carolina’s ride won’t continue into the NCAA Tournament. The Gamecocks, despite the good league showing, are 16-16 overall and far from Big Dance discussion.
