Projection: likely out

South Carolina's season has been marked by inconsistent performance, with notable wins against teams like Clemson and Virginia Tech, showcasing their potential, but they have struggled against tougher opponents. Losses to formidable teams such as Alabama, Florida, and Kentucky highlight their vulnerability, particularly on the road. While their defense ranks reasonably well, their offense struggles significantly against stiffer competition, evidenced by the 50-point outing against Mississippi State and losses to Indiana and Oklahoma. Upcoming games against top teams will present critical opportunities, but their current standing suggests they need to string together wins, especially against tougher opponents like Texas A&M and Arkansas, to improve their NCAA tournament hopes.
