The positive would be you are playing a team that have just played a game roughly 24 hours ago and you also get extra time for addition scouting if needed. The set back is South Carolina may have to play Kentucky, Florida or Mississippi State and that is a rough way to start the tournament.

The advantage in my opinion is not only the rest, but you also basically ensure you play a good team for the resume. Win/Lose it's unlikely we get punished playing a tournament team. But potentially losing to a lower half team could have big consequences for our seeding.
