You should get 2 points for kicking the ball in the concession stand window

That was impressive

2nd half kicking off now, still scoreless.

South Carolina scores

Goal, South Carolina. 1-0, 2 minutes into the half.

 

[Dawgg]

17. We’ll be lucky to pull this one out.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

2 nil South Carolina. Yeesh

 

[MSF87]

2-0, South Carolina. First 2-goal deficit of the season.

Kind of glad I’m missing this one

One good thing happened today. Rutgers beat USCw, which hopefully is enough to keep them out of the top 4.

If Texas can beat Arkansas tonight and Duke can beat UNC, then I think we’re probably still going to be in the top 4 come Monday.

Is this similar to SEC Baseball Tournament… if you got a good team, you want an early exit to rest the starters?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

A win, maybe 2 in the big tourney and that'll be the end.

It's good we got to have a little bit of fun with this year.

Somewhat, if State was locked into their seeding. Dropping this one makes the resume a bit shaky for being one of the top 4 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. They'll need some help to secure one, more than likely.

Oh well, on to bigger things. The selection show is Monday at 3:00 PM on the NCAA web site.

This happens in soccer. Even Arsenal's Invincibles had a boat load of draws.

This wasn't a draw. It was an *** whipping.

I could look up Man City, Liverpool, Real Madrid...and the like getting similar thumpings during fantastic years. It happens. What matters is the response.

I knew we were cooked when I saw Hadad’s podcast title this morning.

Florida State beat Wake Forest on PK’s.
I think that probably locks up a top 4 spot for FSU and eliminates Wake.

Texas and Arkansas are tied 1-1 halfway through the second half. We want Texas to win this one as that probably gives us a leg up on Arkansas. If Arkansas wins the SEC Tourney, I think they lock up a top 4 seed.

Duke probably has the number 1 overall seed locked up. They’re about to play UNC. I think if UNC wins out, they’re going to get a top 4 spot.

All that to say, we should be rooting for Texas and Duke tonight.

I think any chance of a top 4 seed ended with that beatdown. Everything's been easy for most of the conference season, but they got exposed tonight. Missing Izquierdo badly. Team and coaches need to do a lot of soul searching and make some adjustments. Good news is 1st round will be an easy game, so 2 weeks before a really competitive game, and rounds 2 & 3 should be at home. But I think Elite 8 is the ceiling for this team, which is really what I thought it was all along.
