South Carolina baseball coach Mark Kingston seemed to sum up what’s most important for as his team heads into the SEC tournament.
The baseball conference tournament grind will always be a tricky balance. Everyone wants to win, but playing nearly every day for six days can tax a pitching staff looking forward to the NCAA Tournament the next weekend.
USC will be walking that line when it starts things up in Hoover, Ala., at 9 p.m. on Tuesday against Missouri. But Monday morning, Kingston put things in perspective.
“At the end of the day, this program is about playing really well in the NCAA Tournament,” Kingston said.
