With nine games remaining in the regular season, South Carolina has little to no margin of error in its quest to make the NCAA Tournament.
The Gamecocks are 27-19 overall and 11-13 in the SEC with three midweek games and two SEC series remaining.
South Carolina has an RPI of 26, which is working in its favor. The Gamecocks also have the No. 2 strength of schedule in the country and have 10 RPI top 50 wins. Only 12 teams in the country have more top 50 wins than USC.
Also working in South Carolina’s favor is that it hasn’t been swept all season, despite playing one of the toughest schedules in the country.
